MindTrade allows users to create and run programs using the Mind language.
In the future, the Mind language aims to become a Turing-Complete programming language. The term Turing Complete is used for languages that can solve any computational problem; in practice, Mind will have the ability to perform any action that that can be coded using a traditional programming language (e.g. Python, Java, C).
The main difference with traditional languages, though, stands in the fact that Mind is thought to make it possible for users with zero coding skills to create programs.
MindTrade, on the other hand, is the first application of the Mind language and it is limited to the trading domain, with a particular focus on blockchains and cryptocurrency. Hence, MindTrade allows users to create programs that act on these domains, without needing to have any computer science or coding knowledge. By reading this documentation, you will learn how to do so.
Mind is a graph-oriented programming language. This means that programs created with Mind (and MindTrade) are represented as graphs. Graphs are data structures that contain nodes and edges; you will learn more about these components in the section.
For now, you can have a grasp of what a graph-based program is by looking at this simple example:
