Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently participated in a Twitter discussion on programming languages with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Elon Musk was kindly asked by a Tesla fan to add software notes to the Tesla app. Elon Musk expressed his hatred for C ++ at the time in his response to a Twitter user, but his love for the plain C, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey agreed.
Here is the tweet:
“Just wait until people find Haskell,” said Charles Hoskinson, who participated in the series. The strategic planning language of Cardano and Marlowe, the background language for intelligent financial contracts, are both built on Haskell. Cardano’s off-chain and on-chain codes were written by Haskell. Haskell, on the other hand, is not one of the most popular editing languages.
Cardano, on the other hand, chose Haskell because he believed that his brilliant contracts of Plutus and Marlowe could be well constructed in a precise, proven language that brings the highest level of authenticity instantly. This follows the tragic consequences of the resulting risk, code failure, and exploitation of smart contracts on blockchains and smart contract languages, resulting in huge financial losses, often in the billions of dollars.
Responding to Solana’s recent exit, Hoskinson defended Cardano’s approach, asking:
“So the main criticism is that Cardano is writing software carefully when billions of dollars are at stake from millions of users and thousands of businesses are relying on infrastructure to make a living?”
