Competition Pact - Glow-Lang/glow GitHub Wiki

Pact is the smart contract language for Kadena.

Pros:

• It has a Lisp syntax yet Haskell-like types (its metalanguage is Haskell)
• It features builtin key management
• Each contract has a small relational database instead of some ad-hoc low-level storage.

Cons:

• It doesn't seem geared to deal with adversarial situations, only with cooperative or centralized operations, which would qualify it more for permissioned blockchains than permissionless interactions.
