What is Solidity?

Solidity was originally proposed in August 2014 and was developed by the Ethereum foundation as the first ever smart contract programming language. Seen in its syntax and inheritance, Solidity is heavily influenced by C++, Python and JavaScript. Developers using Solidity can find the largest smart contract developer community online and a wealth of compatible tools. There are over 8 million deployed smart contracts written in Solidity.
