What's Behind the Move Movement? w/ Rushi Manche (Movement Labs)

In this episode, Austin chats with Rushi Manche (Movement Labs) about bringing the Move programming language to Solana and other blockchains. They discuss some of the hype behind Move, such as its "built-in"security, and the inherent trade-offs that every programming language has. Rushi further explains topics like the difference between the Sui and Aptos versions of Move, how Movement Labs' parallelization works, and more. According to Rushi, the intuitiveness and flexibility of programming in Move will serve as an effective bridge for web2 developers to step into web3.
