Cardano is ranked at #12, ahead of TRON but below Monero on coinmarketcap. The price rose at a rate of 4.50% in the course of the past 24-hours. The trading volume recorded is $112.113 million, whereas the supply has 25,927,070,538 ADA coins in play. At present, the total market cap of Cardano is $1.327 billion. As of this moment, ADA is priced at $0.051203.
The protocol based on which Cardano operates involves Haskell. Smart-contracts on Cardano will be constructed via the use of Plutus. Both these languages are relatively new in comparison to Python and JavaScript. Haskell is a functional language, while Python involves interpreted, object-oriented language with functional aspects too.
Would you like to reach a manual on Plutus? Look no further.
The similarity in terms of syntax between Haskell and Python makes it easier to draw a comparison with them. I would say that Python is much easier to comprehend, but Haskell being modern is the smarter choice. Haskell includes parametric polymorphism and ad-hoc polymorphism [the former resembles C++ while the latter feature is more akin to Java].
As a student well-versed with the syllabus ICSE as well as CBSE board, I can vouch for the fixation on ancient programming languages like BlueJ and C++. Technology will keep evolving with every passing day, and thus we need to remain updated too.
Rust is also a programming language employed in the Cardano network. Considering the fact that the Foundation advertises Cardano as a “Third-Generation Blockchain”, the usage of advanced and functional programming languages is an appreciable move.
Jormungandr version 0.3.3 was unveiled recently. To know more about the latest updates, you can check out their weekly newsletter which was shared a short while ago.
We are excited to announce the upcoming @wyohackathon in September! As a co-host, we will be sharing Plutus and Marlowe with the community and also connect with other leading experts in the blockchain industry.
