Cardano Smart Contract Language Simon

Here are a couple other posts from CosmosX and I in the past:

Haskell Is Not a Barrier to Cardano's Widespread Adoption

I’ve seen several people worrying that Haskell is too obscure, which causes them to incorrectly assume Cardano might not be widely adopted. So, let’s clear up this misconception. . . . Haskell is fantastic from a usability/efficiency/QC perspective and it’s the only language that I’ve really enjoyed learning and using. However, the team is working on Cardano’s EILE virtual machine, which integrates the powerful K-Framework and provides a translation layer to compile any language into fast smart…

@p-alik When Charles says “Yella” in his interviews, he’s referring to the EILE virtual machine.

Yes. ANY K defined language can be used to develop Smart Contracts. Not just Haskell. This means C, Java, JavaScript, Solidity and many more

Even within the community, I keep seeing inaccurate information regarding the future smart contracts platform, some claiming that only Haskell can be used to develop them. It’s false. Haskell/Plutus is used for programming the protocol which is different than the actual dApps, for which any language that has formal semantics in K, such as C, Java, JavaScript, Solidity, Plutus, and many more will be possible. Otherwise Cardano wouldn’t be 3rd generation Just to remove any doubts,…
