TezDev Paris 2022 - Didier Plaindoux
summary
LIGO is a multi-syntax smart-contract compiler that compiles to Michelson and exposes a core IR with multiple syntaxes so different front ends share the same internals. The project adds a WASM backend for web execution and plans extensible back ends for Tezos sidechains (proof‑of‑stake). Claims: sidechain and PoS reduce energy use, improve decentralization versus PoW, and enable direct browser execution of contracts; compiler approach targets reuse like LLVM.
