LIGO is a programming language that aims to provide developers with an
|
|
|
|
|
uncomplicated and safe way to implement smart contracts. Since it is
|
|
|
|
|
being implemented for the Tezos blockchain LIGO compiles to Michelson,
|
|
|
|
|
the native smart contract language of Tezos.

LIGO was meant to be a language for developing Marigold on top of a
|
|
|
|
|
hacky framework called Meta-Michelson. However, due to the attention
|
|
|
|
|
received by the Tezos community, LIGO is now a standalone language
|
|
|
|
|
being developed to support Tezos directly.
