NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

We've recommended Truffle for decentralized application (dapp) development in the past. Embark too can make your work easier. Embark provides features such as scaffolding, building, testing and debugging and integrates with decentralized storages such as IPFS. Through its declarative configuration, you can manage smart contract configuration, dependencies, artifact and deployment quite easily. Embark's interactive CLI dashboard is also impressive. We keep seeing people use Remix to write smart contracts and manually deploy their apps without automated testing, source control management or artifact management. We'd like to draw people's attention to dapp engineering practice by promoting tools such as Truffle and Embark.
