The online publication Crypto News Flash addressed the fact that Cardano’s Marlowe is better for the DeFi movement compared to Ethereum’s Solidity.
Just the other day, it’s been revealed that Charles Hoskinson retweeted a post from IOHK about Marlowe, and you can check it out below:
NEW BLOG: Marlowe is our language for financial contracts and a platform for #DeFi that supports direct, peer-to-peer lending, contracts for difference (CFD), and more https://t.co/DK4pajZEH6 @Cardano #Cardano

In a new post, professor Simon Thompson, Senior Research Fellow at IOHK, introduced the Domain Specific Language (DSL) called “Marlowe.”
Marlowe will be published with Goguen
This will be published with Cardano’s next era, Goguen.
As we’ve said before, Marlowe is a programming language for “financial contracts,” but not for smart contracts in general.
This is the main reason for which it’s different from general-purpose blockchain languages such as Bitcoin Script and Ethereum’s Solidity.
Thompson said the following:
“Marlowe is industry-scale. We have built Marlowe contracts based on examples from one of the leading projects for financial smart contracts, the Algorithmic Contract Types Unified Standards (Actus) system.”
He continued and explained that “Currently, these and other examples can be seen in the Marlowe Playground, a browser-based environment in which users can create, edit, simulate, and analyze Marlowe contracts, without having to install or pay for anything.”
