Benefits of compiling via IR

[maikelordaz]

I still dont get the advantages or disadvantages of compiling via ir. It helps to get rrid of the stack too deep error (although I prefer to refactor and write a better and more readable code when I get this) and it allows to use the custom errors on require statement with the new solidity version 0.8.26. Is there a reason to not use it always? I mean I dont have problems to wait a little bit longer on compiling, as I never faced an issue when this compiling time gets too long, so until now this time have not been a problem for me

I have not personally compiled a contract using via IR myself, so I don't know much about using it or not, but Patrick has a content about it in the Advanced Foundry Course on Cyfrin Updraft. Here https://updraft.cyfrin.io/courses/advanced-foundry/account-abstraction/via-ir?lesson_format=video is the link to the video maybe check it out and see if it satisfies your curiosity
