The platform also uses Haskell, a programming language with high fault tolerance. It is important to give flexibility to projects because of the relatively unknown future and complexity of block-based systems. It is almost impossible to know what a system might be in months or even years, so it is important to have a sound language like Haskell.

Unlike some other crypto money projects, Cardano's goal is not to overturn the entire financial system. Their aim is to use block-chain technology, especially in developing countries where banking systems are expensive. @ivanli @thejohalfiles
