Solidity? What is it, and can this language change how we develop software forever?

🛫 The Start
This is a late response to the language called, Solidity. I have only came onto DEV.to early this year and the last time I have read part of the documentation was when it was in version 0.8.4. Now Solidity is in version 0.8.12. Time has flown by, but that is no excuse.
Today I will be embarking on understanding this language and explore the vast horizons in Web3 technology. This will be a a series where I will document everything about what I have learnt and as many resources that supports my argument. Web3 is foreign to me, but from what I understand, I believe that Web3 will exist in the future and will be part of our lives, just not every single individual who has the technology to interact with it. It is a large say when I just said of how foreign it is to me. But I have spent a lot of time on such technologies. Some of them are:
- Tokens
- Smart Contracts
- Defis
- Dapps
- DAOs
- Blockchain intergration
- Web2 => Web3 hybrids
and a few in which I cannot think on the top of my head. But now is the time where even though I have an existing project and posting schedule I have to fix, I am willing to create software that makes Web3 great and to solve a variety of problems around the world! Watch me as I plan on spending months on this. I will do a clean restart in my existing research because so much time as passed that I am extremely behind in Web3 related news and development/implementations.
🧐 What I plan to cover and what I plan to avoid
For this research and developing, I do not plan on looking into NFTs and Cryptocurrency related news/development in general. I might read articles to stay updated as much as I can. But the scope is just Web3 and most importantly, Solidity. Maybe on a different post (unrelated to this project and redesigning Nasa's APOD) I will post some things I find interesting.
I think this will be fun...

If find yourself reading this whole post, then thank you, it's really cool when someone reads my posts, and also, if you'd like to. I will add my social media or other links down below so you can keep track of what I'll post or when I'll post. Or something else like "things are going to be delayed".
