Right now here at Waves we’re busy developing smart contracts. With great power comes great responsibility, so that is why we’re welcoming Martin Odersky — one of the foremost global specialists in programming languages! Among his many achievements is the creation of the Scala language that our platform is built on.

Starting his first day as a member of our team, Martin gave a speech about his experience of creating powerful and secure programming languages.



Martin jokes about type assignment rules… and about monads a bit

Inspired by Martin’s speech, we decided to create the fork Dotty, focused on smart contracts. We’re so psyched! There’s so much work, pizza and energy drinks ahead! Dear friends, be patient and just believe in us. We won’t fail you!

God bless Waves and smart contracts!

P.S.: Calm down, guys, it's a joke :) But we are doing our best to deliver Smart Contracts to testnet in April. SC on mainnet will be available right after it's tested. Stay tuned!
