SolarNet what makes you think it's based on js
1 comments

Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript and it is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

Syntax being similar is not the same as being based on it.
For only one specific interpretation of "based on".
