# Sam Blackshear on Move's Innovations

The Move programming language on Sui incorporates three fundamental innovations: the object-centric data model, programmable transaction blocks, and dynamic fields. Sam Blackshear, Co-Founder and CTO at Mysten Labs, created Move just five years ago as a language specifically built for writing smart contracts on a blockchain. These three innovations on Sui increase Move's potential.

Continuing development on Move improves its efficiency and the developer experience. Migrate to [Move 2024](https://github.com/tnowacki/sui/blob/ccbf0c4b86112886abbbea25b7991dd5decd1f0f/docs/content/guides/developer/advanced/move-2024-migration.mdx) today!
