Description
Used primarily by the MakerDAO team (the group behind DAI), Dapptools was inspired by the philosophy of Unix, “Write programs that do one thing, and do it well.” Dapptools is a command-line-focused tool where instead of having to work with python, javascript, or some other high-level programming language to aid your development, you can use the command line/shell tools that you’re already familiar with, like bash or zsh. This effectively cuts down on one more technology that you must be familiar with and forces you to get better at your shell scripting! It comes with a suite of tools like dapp, seth, ethsign, and hevm, each a tool specifically designed for a portion of what you’ll need to do as a smart contract developer.
