04/01/2018 | Creator Of Scala Language Joins Waves TeamSource: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@wavesplatform/creator-of-scala-language-joins-waves-teamRight 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.
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!
is this an april joke or real ?
Hmm, wondering this too haha, bad timing. This would be huge. The fact that Waves already chose to move to Scala a while back and now actually would have the developer of the language on board can only mean that the platform will become bigger and better, I'm sure a lot of great insights will be gained by adding him to the team.
