Clarity vs Solidity
Nearly 50,000 developers joined Web3 in 2023, and one of the first decisions they had to make was what smart contract programming language to use. Every language has different tradeoffs, and Clarity and Solidity are no exception.
Clarity, the smart contract language for Stacks, was designed to be a safe, decidable language that makes contract behavior more predictable and that better protects on-chain assets. Let’s take a look at how Clarity compares to Solidity, the most popular smart contract language today:
In our latest blog post, we dive into these differences in detail and compare code snippets from each language to give you a better sense of their strengths and weaknesses. Ready to dive in?
