SourceLess is a complex project, and there’s a lot to understand about the different parts that make it work. Some of those parts are highly technical, but we still like to share them from time to time and explain, in plain language, what they do and why they’re there.
One of those parts is 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠, the programming language being developed specifically for the SourceLess blockchain.
When developers write software, the language they use already sets some of the rules like how data is handled, what kinds of mistakes can be caught early, and which capabilities are available from the start.
ARES Lang includes smart-contract support, strong typing and memory safety, zero-knowledge tools, post-quantum cryptographic features and integration with 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐂𝐲𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫, SourceLess’s three-way encryption system.
GodCypher also incorporates earthquake entropy, using real seismic data as an input for cryptographic randomness.
For developers, this means more of the tools SourceLess needs are already available in the language instead of being added separately later.
Before a blockchain can run an application, move value or enforce a rule, someone has to define exactly what it should do.
Those instructions are written in a programming language.
For the SourceLess Blockchain, that language is ARES Lang.
ARES Lang is being developed specifically for blockchain applications and smart contracts.
Because a secure network can still execute bad instructions perfectly, the language and its tools help catch mistakes before the code reaches the blockchain.
ARES Lang is designed with strong typing, memory safety, static analysis, contract optimization, zero-knowledge tools and post-quantum cryptography.
It’s also exploring a more unusual approach: using seismic data as an additional source of entropy for randomness generation.
You may never write a line of ARES Lang yourself. But it’s worth knowing the kind of engineering behind SourceLess smart contracts and blockchain applications.
