Functions aka Transitions
Transitions are functions that change the value of mutable variables and can communicate with other contracts. 
The first transition, setHello, takes a String as input, updates welcome_msg and informs the caller of the success/failure.
The second transition, getHello, simply sends out a message to the caller with the current value of welcome_msg.

Pros

Scilla imposes a structure on smart contracts that will make applications less vulnerable to attacks by eliminating certain known vulnerabilities directly at the language-level. Furthermore, the principled structure of Scilla will make applications inherently more secure and amenable to formal verification.

Cons

Other platforms – like OmiseGo – have much stronger links with real-world organizations. Zilliqa has some serious work to do if it wants to be among the biggest cryptocurrencies.
