Apps that update without ever moving their data… Most apps keep their data in a separate database, and every code update risks losing or breaking it. The Internet Computer from @dfinity takes another route for apps written in Motoko, its own coding language. Data sits in normal program memory, and the internet-computer:native network keeps it there through upgrades. Each upgrade is checked first, and if the new code can't read the stored data, the upgrade is rolled back and nothing is lost. Rust and other languages get no such help, so developers there still move their data by hand before
