Facebook launched Move, a programming language specifically designed for blockchain and Libra. Move is an open source project that is now on GitHub.
Maurer says that Libra and Move were designed alongside each other, and share a common inspiration in the form of Rust, a popular programming language originated at the Mozilla Foundation. Libra was implemented in Rust, while Move borrows some concepts from the language.
During this period, he realized that blockchain is specifically designed for sensitive assets like money and other financial instruments. But there aren't any programming languages designed to handle those uses, in the same way that languages like Python are designed to handle large data sets. Now, linear types are one of core features of Libra. It uses linear logic, which means a resource can be neither copied nor discarded, only moved around between the various subroutines of a program.
Move ensures that these resource values are moved exactly once, instead of copied, so coins move around without the possibility of duplication.
