Smart contract computer language Lexon (LEX) launched a compiler on Aug. 3, allowing developers to write contracts in Lexon and have them be converted into Solidity, Sophia or JavaScript, according to statements made to Cointelegraph by Lexon founder Henning Diedrich. The compiler runs on the Aeternity (AE) blockchain network and charges LEX tokens as payment for each compilation cycle.
Dubbed “the computer language anyone can read,” Lexon is a computer language intended to seem like an ordinary written or spoken language. Specifically, the current version is developed to look and sound like ordinary English.
