Cardano is a recently released blockchain cryptocurrency system developed by IOHK and implemented primarily in Haskell. It has a number of innovative technologies and a long future roadmap, but in this talk Duncan will focus less on the 'what' and more on the question of 'how' and on transferable lessons: * How the system has been and is being developed; * How we balance rapid development with higher assurance development; * Playing to Haskell's strengths; * Opportunities for higher assurance with formal specifications; * Bridging the gap between research and products; * Building a larger Haskell development team and training; * What has gone well, and what has gone badly, and lessons we can learn.
