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 æternity blockchain specific primitives, constructions and types have been added.

!!! Note - For rapid prototyping of smart contracts check out AEstudio! - For playing around and diving deeper into the language itself check out the REPL!
