Non-assembly based programming languages can be used for contract programming. They are both intended for the modelling of many dio<=pan style="font-size:10ptfont-family:CMR10">erent kinds of financial co=tracts. However, the term =E24,0contract" in Ethereum refers to an instantiation of a program that is replicated and maintained by every participating node. This instantiation is very much like an object in an Object Oriented program: it=can receive and send messages, update local storage and so on. In contrast, our implementation of the smart contract in code refers to a set of functions, =nly one of which is a part of keeping the system synchronised (the verify function). That function is pure and stateless (i.e., it may not interact with any oth=r part of the system whilst executing). As contracts do not have any kind of mutable storage, there is no notion of a "message". Ethereu= also claims to be a platform not only for financial logic, but literally any kind of appli=ation at all. Our platform considers non-financial applications to be out of scop=, at least initially. On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 5:19 AM, Joi Ito ‹ » wrote: Interesting.
