Programming Languages
Overview
The Plutus Platform is the smart contract platform for Cardano. Plutus contracts consist of parts that run on the blockchain (on-chain code) and parts that run on a user’s machine (off-chain or client code).
Plutus draws from modern language research to provide a safe, full-stack programming environment based on Haskell, the leading functional programming language.
Both the 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.
To write a smart contract using the Plutus Platform, you can code directly in the Plutus Playground, a lightweight, web-based environment for exploratory Plutus development.
Here you learn about how to develop using Plutus, and easily write and simulate the deployment of your contracts without the overhead of installing and maintaining a full development environment.
