# Introduction
|
|
Sophia is a functional language designed for smart contract development. It is strongly typed and has
|
|
restricted mutable state.
|
|
|
|
Sophia is customized for smart contracts, which can be published
|
|
to a blockchain. Thus some features of conventional
|
|
languages, such as floating point arithmetic, are not present in Sophia, and
|
|
some [blockchain](https://gajumaru.io) specific primitives, constructions and types have been added.
|

|
!!! Note
