Cardano founder develops new programming language, bets on advanced cryptography
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, said he is personally developing a new programming language for the blockchain. The language is designed to handle intents and proof-carrying data using Groth16 proofs, he said. Hoskinson did not disclose the language’s name, specifications or launch schedule. He also previewed new use cases for Midnight, a partner blockchain focused on privacy, but it is unclear whether the two projects are linked.
