Write your own tools.
The EVM, which is what executes contracts, has a public spec. It's a bytecode machine and writing a compiler for it should be rather trivial compared to x86.
There are also several other languages you can code in and there are some code verifier tools that allow you to check if your contract is good.
The problem is that despite these tools existing, even if they are used, they are underused.
- beachwood23 9y agoWriting custom tools is not a solution for the standard professional developer. If Ethereum is to take off, it will need one of * Little to none "get up and running" time. Custom tools don't allow for that. * Provide such tremendous value that it is worth overcoming the initial setup hurdle. Right now, Ethereum has neither.
