Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. I cannot find a single secondary source about the programming language, and it appears obscure to professionals in the field - I was hoping to find a mention at [1] but did not, ending up referring to a programming language called Latino instead. The language gets a mention at a list of programming languages [2] but no significant coverage.

- If I had said "Unless this deletion discussion leads to the finding of secondary sources, it should be deleted" would that have been OK?" That is the improvement I was referring to. --

- Delete Found a link here and it looks like the language has not been updated for over a decade. I think we can consider it defunct. Also note that searching today is difficult because the word "lexico" is used for an online dictionary, and that is what floods the search. Lamona ( talk) 16:19, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
