Solidity
========
Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart
contracts. Smart contracts are programs which govern the behaviour of accounts
within the Ethereum state.

Smart contracts are programs which govern the behaviour of accounts within the Ethereum state.
Solidity is a `curly-bracket language <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages_by_type#Curly-bracket_languages>`_ designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
It is influenced by C++, Python and JavaScript. You can find more details about which languages Solidity has been inspired by in the :doc:`language influences <language-influences>` section.

As humans write software, it can have bugs. You should follow established
software development best-practices when writing your smart contracts. This
includes code review, testing, audits, and correctness proofs. Smart contract
users are sometimes more confident with code than their authors, and
blockchains and smart contracts have their own unique issues to
watch out for, so before working on production code, make sure you read the
:ref:`security_considerations` section.
