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. Understand more

Programming for smart contracts requires a more expressive language than a scripting system for transactions. Solidity is the most popular among the new programming languages designed for smart contracts. Solidity is a contract-oriented, statically typed language whose syntax is similar to JavaScript. It provides abstractions for writing self-enforcing business logic in smart contracts. The toolchain around Solidity is growing fast. Nowadays, Solidity is the primary choice on the Ethereum platform. Given the immutable nature of deployed smart contracts, it should go without saying that rigorous testing and audit of dependencies is vital.
