Input Output Hong Kong<\/a><\/strong> [IOHK], the company behind the Cardano <\/a><\/strong>blockchain, recently released two programming languages that will expand the programmability of smart contracts as well as blockchain platforms functionality.<\/p>\n The new tools named Plutus<\/strong> and Marlowe<\/strong> have been explained below,<\/p>\n The Plutus platform was released a week ago. It doesn\u2019t need to be downloaded as users can experience Plutus platform online via the Plutus Playground<\/strong>. Plutus is an open source platform therefore all the necessary features such as codes and documentations can be found on the GitHub<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The IOHK<\/strong> team developed Plutus by manipulating parts of the Haskell<\/strong> programming language of Cardano. The Plutus platform will allow users to secure strong smart contracts within the Cardano network once the testing phase is over.<\/p>\n Marlowe on the other hand, “provides a way for professionals in the finance industry who have no programming background to generate code and create software products.\u2019\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n Marlowe is a Domain-Specific language [DSL] for professionals that is easy to use and turns out to be quite relevant when building financial contracts on the blockchain.<\/p>\n The Cardano blockchain was launched in 2007 by IOHK. Cardano was conceptualized by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum. Just like Ethereum, Cardano is a smart contract platform, but, it distinguishes itself since it is built on scientific philosophy and peer-reviewed academic research. It offers scalability and security through layered architecture.<\/p>\nPlutus <\/b><\/h2>\n
