Goals:

Provide a mechanism for users to author Rholang smart contracts, compile and run these contracts on the Rosette C++ VM. 

Done when:

• Rholang contracts can be authored and compiled.
• RBL programs run on Rosette VM easily.
• Users can download a Docker image, install it and are up and running with their Rholang Dev environment to write contracts.

In more detail:

• Docker image that has the development environment pre-configured.
• Defects discovered in C++ Rosette may be deferred / addressed in Roscala
