Our main goal is to improve the smart contract development experience for the Cardano blockchain. By developing Aiken as a bespoke language, we can better align its features with what is truly needed for on-chain development...
Aiken takes inspiration from many modern languages such as Gleam, Rust, and Elm, which are known for friendly error messages and an overall excellent developer experience. We believe Cardano deserves a dedicated language with these kinds of features, developed in the open with the community...
We want a complete and delightful experience. A modern blockchain deserves a modern smart contract toolkit. You should be and feel productive when writing contracts. This includes editor integrations such as LSP and tree-sitter, beautiful error messages, rapid and intuitive test feedback loop and easy-to-produce documentation.
