Hey Hackernews! We are excited to show you Flow Playground, the first time anyone can write smart contracts in Cadence, our new programming language

Cadence pairs linear types with object capabilities to create a secure and declarative model for digital ownership

All of this was built with love over the past couple of years by a small yet mighty team based in Vancouver, Canada

Smart contracts are uniquely suited to managing ownership of valuable assets, but most programming languages – even those designed specifically for smart contracts – don’t have any native abstractions for managing ownership, until Resources.

Resources have 3 rules:

1. Each Resource exists in exactly one place: no duplication, double-spend, or accidental deletion

2. Ownership of a Resource is defined by where it's stored: no central ledger or smart contract

3. Access to methods on a Resource is limited to the owner
