# aesophia

This is the __sophia__ compiler for the æternity system which compiles contracts written in __sophia__ to [FATE](https://github.com/aeternity/protocol/blob/master/contracts/fate.md) instructions.

The compiler is currently being used three places
 - [The command line compiler](https://github.com/aeternity/aesophia_cli)
 - [The HTTP compiler](https://github.com/aeternity/aesophia_http)
 - In [Aeternity node](https://github.com/aeternity/aeternity) tests
