This talk provides an overview of how open-source blockchain contract programming looks like today. I show examples of several types of blockchain languages that each represent a part of the design space. I also go through some of the historical blockchain disasters that were caused by bad programming and discuss a) how to prevent them with stronger primitives, b) how to improve the ergonomics, and c) what is implied by “general-purpose” in the context of blockchain. You may like this talk if you’re into compilers and programming language design.
