Creator Of Scala Language Joins Waves Team

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

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.

Time for a joke
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!

Waves is a great decentralized exchange. The web is pretty neat and user friendly. Lot of dex exchange is a little bit ugly and difficult to use thanks for having waves as our options

Scala? sounds like scalable, i hope it is, to help etherium to their traffic issues.

It was a pleasure to hear about scala and waves!

I don't know who are in the picture but this is Martin Odesky:

I am lucky because he was my professor in Functionnal programming hey hey 😋
He is a professor at EPFL university in Switzerland where he is also employed asa researcher. Besides there are no traces of this partnership on his tweeter account. Have you got some proof ?

Ah, I see. I didn't realize that was a joke. Thanks for clearing that up.

I also think it's a joke ^^
