Welcome to the ArLabs podcast. Our special guest today is Manfred Turan. Manfred, where are you coming from, bro? I didn't even ask me that yet. I come from France near Paris. So, yeah, French and you will notice with my French accent. Are, is that where you are right now today? You're living in, you're living in Paris?

No, near Paris in Normandy.

So outside Paris somewhere.

Nice. Okay, so this is a show about you. We've been fortunate enough to get you on the show.

One of my favorite things about having guests who I don't know at all is they tend to be some of the best interviews because I don't have anything going on in my head about trying to drive to a certain

Give everybody the two-minute, the two-minute sort of elevator pitch on what you're doing today.

What is Mantra doing today?

So today I'm working on Gnoland.

It is a blockchain developed in Go, where we develop a new language based on Go.

So we develop Gno, which is basically an interpreted version of Go with more security and other new features that maybe doesn't make sense for most of the gophers,

but makes a lot of sense when you try to make deterministic code running on blockchain.

And we try also to make blockchains less about finance and more about contribution. So yeah,

blockchains with more go and with less finance. So this is gno.0.

So it's pronounced gno. It's pronounced gno land, no land. It's pronounced gno land, no land.

Okay, it's we we wish people will just invent He's pronounced Gnoland, Noland. Gno land, okay, Gno land.

We wish people will just invent new ways of saying it.

So there is not a single way.

Your company has been sponsoring some of the conferences.
