You make valid points. I agree.

There were complaints in the beginning, because there were some people that misunderstood the Posting Rules[^], more specifically the second paragraph.
On the other hand, one could discuss whether or not some people in this thread should reread the #1 rule between the first and second paragraph.

After reading the answers, makes one wonder why you asked the question here in the Lounge in the first place.
Might want to find a forum/website that is more bitcoin centric, if you want a better answer than yes, no, maybe so.

Technically, yes, but probably not the way you're thinking.
Member 14169933 wrote: so I wonder where does the data of all the bitcoins is stored?
The transactions are stored in the chain itself. There are "full nodes" on the network that each contain a full list of all transactions that syn with other such nodes (other non-full nodes exist but they're not involved in the core processes).
Member 14169933 wrote: who is peer in case of bitcoin?
The nodes are peers of each other. Where the P2P model breaks down is that you can be a client but not a peer. You can send\receive bitcoins without being a part of the node network, you simply need a client that can communicate with the network. Like how you can send email despite not running a local SMTP server.
Member 14169933 wrote: as the bitcoins grow isnt it becomes slower and slower to retrieve information?
As the transactions grow, yes I guess it will slow down, but given how long it can take for transactions to go through do you other factors, I don't think additional fractions of a second to go through more transaction history will make much of a difference.

So I parsed that 8000+ line source file i threw at Slang, and then I rebuilt the tree, and spit out VB all in about 5-10 seconds, which isn't too bad considering what a monster it is.
The VB code is nasty looking because it's declaring arrays with 100s of elements on a single line
But it should work. It's all valid codedom constructs.
There's still work to be done on it but I think i'm at or almost at the point where I can start using it in my own projects.
I'm looking forward to never having to touch the actual codedom tree again, but I can't believe how difficult it was to resolve the tree.
I had to load assemblies and types, and crawl using reflect AND crawl the codedom looking for fields, properties, methods, signatures and return types.
In order to even know which methods were what I had to do SIGNATURE MATCHING. Do you have any idea what that entails? Never underestimate the work your compiler does for you. Jeez that's hard.
All this so I can call GetTypeOfExpression() on a codedom expression. What if the expression is a method call? what if it's one of several overloaded methods each with a different return type? I had to get it right.
This is probably the most extensively I've ever used reflection in a single project.
But the worst part wasn't even reflection. It was *emulating* reflection over the codedom.
If any of you know what I'm talking about here, then that last line should give you pause.
Yes, I did that. It was necessary.
But I feel pretty cool right now.

If anything I just gave people less of a reason to write any code in VB. Just write it in Slang and translate it. That way you can stick to C#

Frankly, I'd be more interested in rendering to F# than VB but their CodeDOM is new and still dodgy so I haven't been able to build it.
I can try the nuget package again now that I moved away from .NET standard/code (there are codedom dependency issues I could bore you with)
But eventually i'll have it rendering in other languages too. It's just that VB and C# are what are shipped with .NET so it's what I have installed.

Well... you can always try C++/CLI?! It's supported by .NET Core 3.1!

It's probably possible to build a CodeDOM renderer for it but I'd be more inclined to build a CodeDOM renderer for IL.
Any C++ code rendered from the CodeDOM will be hopelessly OO and crappy for C++

Actually yes. Combined with slang it would let you write IL in a C# subset.
However, it wouldn't support generating all IL instructions, and you can do the same thing with a real C# compiler + IL Spy
