user1433: I’d like to better understand the design and features of the upcoming Cardano smart contracts.
Where is the design guidance & documentation posted for them, including their planned functionality, and how we’ll be able to create and use them?
Can community members comment on this / assist with the UX?

user1482: I am not a techie. Lars has been posting Plutus videos on YouTube. Plutus is the main language for smart contracts on Cardano. I think it if searchable as Plutus pioneers program. That should get you to the trailhead. I'm not a techie but that is where I would start.

user1147: Have a look at the Plutus Pioneer Program for technical details:
