RE: Programming - Implementing a Blockchain using Python and Flask [Dev Blog 6]

in Programming & Dev3 years ago

Well, from the languages that you've mentioned, Solidity is the smart contract language from Ethereum. It's not something that is used for implementing a blockchain base, but it's an extension. Using Solidity Ethereum allows implementing Distributed Apps (Dapps), Tokens etc. Think of it as machine code for blockchain systems, similar to how code is compiled and executed on hardware. (CPUs, GPUs etc.)

Python and Go are also used in lots of cryptocurrency implementations. I'm more familiar with Python though.

It really all depends on what you're aiming for. To understand blockchains in-depth languages like Python should be better suited. But, if you wish to grasp more advanced topics like Tokens, Smart Contracts etc., then understanding existing cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and how they work should be your priority instead.

Your answer did solve my doubt sir....

Sir, I know python but blockchain is entirely new to me. So I really don't know which language to chose.......
I guess I just have to go with the flow....
Thanks for uploading the series.....
