Development Stack
Ardana is built using the following libraries, frameworks and languages. Documentation is available for its core technical stack.
Haskell is a general-purpose, statically typed, purely functional programming language with type inference and lazy evaluation. Designed for teaching, research and industrial application, Haskell has pioneered a number of advanced programming language features such as type classes, which enable type-safe operator overloading.
The Plutus Platform is the smart contract platform of the Cardano blockchain. Plutus contracts consist of pieces that run on the blockchain (on-chain code) and pieces that run on a user’s machine (off-chain or client code). Both on-chain and off-chain code is written in Haskell, and Plutus smart contracts are Haskell programs. Off-chain code is compiled by GHC, the Haskell compiler, and on-chain code is compiled by the Plutus compiler.
React.js is an open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces or UI components. React can be used as a base in the development of single-page or mobile applications. However, React is only concerned with state management and rendering that state to the DOM, so creating React applications usually requires the use of additional libraries for routing, as well as certain client-side functionality.
