### Quick intro to Noir

Noir is a domain specific language for creating and verifying zero-knowledge proofs. Its design choices are influenced heavily by Rust.

Noir is designed for accessible and flexible development of provable programs. It abstracts away the need for developers to handcraft low-level circuits and aims at supporting different proving backends for different development needs.

Noir compiles to an intermediate language, which itself can be compiled to an arithmetic circuit or a rank-1 constraint system. This allows one to decouple the programming language completely from the backend, so Noir can support arbitrary backends.

Learn more about the language with [Noir Docs](https://noir-lang.org/).
