Smart contract development is no different than other types of software development. Code is written to perform a certain task, and there are tools that help make this process easier. The Ethereum ecosystem contains many mature tools to help build Web3 projects, but what about a newer ecosystem, such as Flow?

Additionally, its smart contract language, Cadence, improves upon other languages’ pitfalls through its resource-based approach and a strong, static type system.
