Vyper is a contract-oriented, Pythonic programming language that targets the `Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) <https://ethereum.org/learn/#ethereum-basics>`_.
It prioritizes user safety, encourages clear coding practices via language design and efficient execution. In other words, Vyper code is safe, clear and efficient!

Principles and Goals
====================

* **Security**: It should be possible and natural to build secure smart-contracts in Vyper.
* **Language and compiler simplicity**: The language and the compiler implementation should strive to be simple.

Simplicity for the reader is more important than simplicity for the writer, and simplicity for readers with low prior experience with Vyper (and low prior experience with programming in general) is particularly important.
