Coinscrum Presents: Cardano's Plutus Smart Contract Environment – Michael Peyton-Jones

Coinscrum Presents: Cardano's Plutus Smart Contract Environment – Michael Peyton-Jones

On 4th March, Coinscrum created a joint event with Cardano, to introduce the recently launched Plutus & Marlowe Smart Contract tools.

The Plutus platform is a general purpose functional programming environment for third-generation blockchains, such as Cardano.

Plutus draws from modern language research to provide a safe, full-stack programming environment based on Haskell, the leading purely functional programming language.

Marlowe is a domain specific language that provides domain experts in functional contracts an accessible, domain-specific environment.

IOHK and Cardano teams were proud to present Plutus and Marlowe to the world and are keen to open up discussions with the broader development community and to get them involved in the future developments of the project, to share ideas and collaborate.

Two speakers from IOHK Professor Simon Thompson and Michael Peyton-Jones presented at the event. In this video, Simon gave an introduction to Marlowe, creating financial contracts on the blockchain.

Michael Peyton-Jones – IOHK functional compilers engineer

Michael got into programming language design by relentlessly gravitating towards the point of greatest abstraction until someone threw a compiler at him. He cares about making programming languages beautiful and mathematical, but also ergonomic and usable. Michael has a first-class degree in mathematics and philosophy from the University of Oxford.

Michael presented a demo of Plutus Playground to the audience.
