- PDiMarzio 8y agoYes Edward was a big contributor here (full disclosure - I work at DA). A lot of our engineers, like Edward, come from the Haskell community. DAML uses the GHC compiler under the covers. One way to think of is is a GHC frontend that adds the extra bits required to streamline the task of writing multipartry contracts.
- stefanobaghino 8y agoTo answer the other part of your question, DAML stands for Digital Asset Modeling Language. No relationship with ML (apart from its influence in functional programming, of course).
