Title: What programming languages are being used by blockchain platforms?
Post by: VeryWellDone on June 19, 2020, 10:25:12 AM
I've heard a lot of projects that are on Java, PHP, and C++ but what's really the most advanced these days? A privacy-centric blockchain for businesses is currently using Haskell and Rust (https://medium.com/concordium/rust-and-haskell-the-languages-of-concordium-3ba41c791c8f) — which allows them to be productive while writing high-quality code. Rust is great for low-level performance-critical code, while Haskell is great for high-level correctness-critical code.

Are there any specific pros and cons for blockchain developers to decide which language are they going for, or is anything fine?

C++, Java, PHP, Python that are some primitive programming language that is still being used these days for the development of blockchain. Also, there are some new programming languages like solidity, simplicity, CX, etc. These all can be used in many ways and all of them are very good I think. It depended on what you are trying to make.

Why not Solidity? I think you can learn more about this language to reach projects on the Ethereum platform. Wish you will have a good job with your programming ability.

"Solidity is an object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts. It is used for implementing smart contracts on various blockchain platforms, most notably, Ethereum.[citation needed] It was developed by Christian Reitwiessner, Alex Beregszaszi, Yoichi Hirai and several former Ethereum core contributors to enable writing smart contracts on blockchain platforms such as Ethereum."

There are several programming languages that can help you create applications for Blockchain. You can use any traditional method like C ++, Java and Python or others like Simplicity and Solidity - new and more specific programming languages for Blockchain. Now, let's take a closer look at the programming languages for Blockchain.

I think it is Solidity because it is a new and simple programming language popular among Ethereum developers, as it is the language used to develop Ethereum smart contracts. The complete programming language is contract-oriented, and the number of developers is estimated at more than 200,000

I think C #. This is an object-oriented language known to allow developers to build powerful applications that run on the .NET Framework with at least 2M developers worldwide. It was developed back in 2000. Since its inception, it has become the popular programming language used to build powerful cross-platform code that works on multiple operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.
