Scilla is under active research and development. The language comes with an interpreter that can be used to try Scilla contracts.
while Scilla was designed in the context of Zilliqa, it is not agnostic to the underlying blockchain platform and hence can be used with any other blockchain.
Pros
- Zilliqa — the underlying blockchain platform on which Scilla contracts are run has been designed to be scalable. It employs the idea of sharding to validate transactions in parallel. Zilliqa has an intrinsic token named Zilling, ZIL for short that are required to run smart contracts on Zilliqa.
Cons
- Non Turing Complete Language - Turing complete languages allows more complicated apps in comparison to Non Turing Complete language. So there will be a limitation here in the type of applications that can be developed as a dApp on the Zilliqa blockchain.
