Microsoft has recently announced to provide support for Ethereum’s high level language called Solidity through its Visual Studio.Microsoft is working on a Decentralized Application Project in partnership with ConsenSys.The a sole objective is to enable the developers to build unlimited decentralized applications based on smart contract for public Ethereum blockchain.So far, Microsoft’s Visual Studio was compatible with C++, C#, F#, Python, TypeScript and JavaScript.But since, Ethereum applications are written in Solidity, it wasn’t possible to develop Ethereum applications using Visual Studio.But it’s about time, Microsoft is ready for a real change.By providing support for solidity, it has paved new ways for the Ethereum application developers.Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) & Solidity As a matter of fact, Solidity is one of the two main programming languages that are specifically designed for the Ethereum Virtual Machine or EVM.The other one is Serpent.Ethereum Virtual Machine is nothing but a computer software which runs at an abstraction layer straight above the underlying hardware.

Ethereum uses a Turing Complete Virtual Machine for running and compiling the codes written in solidity and serpent.The Ethereum Virtual Machine is also called Turing Complete Virtual Machine.The term “Turing Complete” flaunts that this software is adroit enough to run any code defined by the developer or user.Solidity vs JavaScript, What’s The Difference?As already mentioned above, solidity is a high level language for public Ethereum blockchain and all the Ethereum based applications are written in this language.bitcoin usage singaporeNevertheless, it is very similar to the pre-existing JavaScript.bitcoin maximum 21 millionSome main points of difference between the two are given below.bitcoin-exchange ceo found dead comments

Solidity is kind of an Object Oriented (OO) language just like C++ and C#, whereas Javascript is based on HTML.Solidity is designed specifically for Ethereum applications and it runs only on the Ethereum blockchain whereas JavaScript is a universal language for the web and is being used in a large number of applications.In case of solidity, the final result is available on every node within the blockchain network.In contrast to this, the result is only available on a single node in case of JavaScript.bitcoin lite walletMicrosoft, Ethereum And ConsenSys Microsoft is among the first few leading tech giants that took interest in Ethereum blockchain and extended support for the Ethereum applications.ethereum distributionSo far, we knew that Microsoft has been working with Ethereum  to provide blockchain as a service (BaaS) for its Azure platform.coinbase limit

And then we got to know about the involvement of Ethereum blockchain in Microsoft Windows.And clearly, Microsoft seems to prolong its faith in both decentralized applications and Ethereum by the integration of Solidity coding language into its Visual Studio.For all one knows, none of this would have been possible without the indelible contribution from ConsenSys which happens to be one of the largest production studios for decentralized applications.Microsoft has been in partnership with ConsenSys ever since it ventured into the realm of blockchain and Decentralized Applications (DAPPs).ethereum boomThe two are expected to work on many other similar projects in future as well and it will be interesting see what comes out to be the next big joint-venture of the duo.ethereum 6 month chartLike Us See More on Facebookuber ethereal quotes

Thus millions of developers get opportunity to create smart contract programs running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.Microsoft has just added programming language, Solidity, into Visual Studio, thus considerably facilitating building stuff with Ethereum for millions of developers.To better understand the importance of the move, IBTimes compares that Visual Studio is to computer programmers what Microsoft Word is to journalists.Solidity is a javascript-like programming language intended for creation of smart contract programs running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.Developers can use Solidity to develop applications that implement self-enforcing business logic embodied in smart contracts, leaving a non-repudiable and authoritative record of transactions.The integration of Solidity in Visual Studio, a rich and integrated development environment for creating applications for Windows, Android, and iOS, means adding the power of decentralised applications to the most powerful development platform so far.

And this creates prerequisites for a new computing paradigm.The integration of Solidity became possible due to collaboration of the Ethereum development studio ConsenSys and Microsoft.The integration is officially announced by co-founders of the company, Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, at //Build in San Francisco that is taking place from March 29th till April 2nd.Vitalik Buterin said: “Making it easier for developers to build applications on top of Ethereum through developer tools has always been one of our primary interests and focuses, and the integration of Solidity in Visual Studio will help bring Ethereum to a very large developer community.I am looking forward to seeing the results that this collaboration will bring.” Joseph Lubin added: “ConsenSys has been working closely with Microsoft to bring Ethereum-focused development tools to the immense and diverse developer community of Microsoft.Solidity is a high-level language for programming the smart contract elements of decentralized applications on Ethereum.” Now millions of developers will be able to start working on their applications immediately by just single click deployment of Ethereum blockchains on the Microsoft Azure cloud available, and integrated development in Visual Studio.

Thus the whole complexity of first standing up a development blockchain can be avoided.Andrew Keys, Co-Founder of ConsenSys Enterprise, said: “Microsoft has been an excellent partner of ConsenSys and evangelist for Ethereum.Solidity integration in Visual Studio will serve as another step towards drastically reducing the barriers to entry of rapid blockchain prototyping for millions of developers.Unveiling this offering at Microsoft’s //Build conference is the perfect venue to educate enterprises on the value of the Ethereum blockchain.” According to the latest data, the price of Eth, a cryptocurrency that rivals bitcoin, has shown a surge of 1,000 % over the past three months.The growth of value has attracted attention from such tech giants as IBM, Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase.The Ethereum system is similar to bitcoin one while it is based on the blockchain technology.The system eliminates middlemen, what significantly increases the speed of payments and reduces settlement costs.
