General Discussion / Re: The infra (library) we really need to compete with ethereum
« on: February 08, 2014, 12:51:30 am »What we really need is a new DSL for dealing with "cryptographic types" to use as building blocks for contracts. If this language is designed carefully we can reap tremendous benefits from various static analysis. The platform would then be an engine/interpreter for this language, with blockchains just being a special case of message types it could handle.
Think SQL:Databases::??:DACs
Would/ Could such a DSL be restricted to bitshares tools/source code/platform?
For what I'm thinking of: no, it would be very general, not even specific to particular cryptographic algorithms. All cryptographic hashes, for example, perform the same information-theoretic function.
