In the past 2019, Alipay has added a total of 400 million lines of code, Alipay said on Monday.
What does this mean? Strung together, it equals to "the number of base pairs in an ant's DNA."
For a more intuitive example, the code length of an app on the iPhone is currently 40,000 lines, and the code length of "World of Warcraft" is only 5.25 million lines. In other words, Alipay's new code is equivalent to 10,000 APPs, or 80 World of Warcraft.
Of course, these codes will not be completely packaged into the Alipay APP. Instead, they will be linked to Alipay through external links, mini-programs, etc., and they will be available on demand.
Alipay also said that at Ant Financial, 63% of its employees are technical people.
In the past year, they developed an intelligent system to help you identify garbage, use the blockchain to ensure that your baby can eat safe milk powder, and real-time risk control to ensure the security of your account.
