Understand it, then run it
The Solidity team released a blog post summarizing the 2024 Developer Survey. The post shares key insights from the survey, such as the number of respondents, their geographic distribution, preferred languages, and how they use Solidity. It also highlights trends compared to previous years, like the rise of Foundry as an IDE and the growing diversity of native languages among developers. The information is meant to inform the community and guide future language design decisions.
Run it now
// pragma solidity ^0.8.37;
// This contract demonstrates that the Solidity compiler is unchanged by the survey.
// It simply stores a value that can be read in the test contract.
pragma solidity ^0.8.37;
contract SurveyDemo {
uint256 public value;
constructor(uint256 _value) {
value = _value;
}
}
Tests
// Test contract for SurveyDemo
import "./main.sol";
contract SurveyDemoTest {
SurveyDemo demo;
constructor() {
demo = new SurveyDemo(42);
}
function test_valueIsSet() public {
require(demo.value() == 42, "value not set correctly");
}
}
The test report when we ran it on Solidity 0.8.37 (solc)
1 of 1 tests passed.
- test_valueIsSet28,459 gas
- SurveyDemoTest: 651 bytes of bytecode, deployed for 230,524 gas
solc 0.8.37 · prague
Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
