Add the Cadence Language

Open jacob-tucker opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

What programming language should we add? Cadence - the Smart Contract programming language for the Flow blockchain.

What is the official website for the language? https://docs.onflow.org/cadence/

Is this a language that comes in many variants? If so, which variant should we support? No.

Does the language have an official logo? If so

  • please include a link to an example This is the Flow blockchain logo, which is also used for Cadence: https://www.google.com/search?q=flow+logo&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjiv4Gq8e70AhVvn3IEHcNLCbUQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=flow+logo&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIECAAQQzIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgQIABAeMgYIABAFEB4yBggAEAUQHjIGCAAQBRAeOgYIABAHEB46BggAEAgQHjoICAAQgAQQsQM6BwgAELEDEEM6CwgAEIAEELEDEIMBOgoIABCxAxCDARBDOgQIABADUPkIWKkOYJEQaABwAHgAgAFPiAGxBJIBAjEwmAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=HqK-YeK4KO--ytMPw5elqAs&bih=937&biw=1920&rlz=1C1GTPM_enUS828US828#imgrc=wW9ufA26Xer-QM

  • please list the attribution rights of that logo This logo is owned by the Flow team (https://twitter.com/flow_blockchain).

Is there a testing framework available for the language? Yes, you can mess around with Cadence code on the Flow playground here: https://play.onflow.org/

If it is not supported by Highlightjs, what is the closest supported language it maps to? It is not officially supported, likely because this language is still relatively new and is also a part of the Blockchain space, which has not seen wide adoption yet. Although I do see Solidity is listed there.

It is closest to the Swift programming language.

Who will be leading the effort to launch the track? Jacob Tucker (me) and a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that is operating to educate members of the Flow community. The DAO acts as a community of people who will continuously produce content to help out in this effort.
