    An easy programming language that runs in the browser

  • A somewhat old-fashioned programming language

    easylang is a rather minimalistic simple programming language. Because of the clear syntax and semantics it is well suited as a teaching and learning language. Functions for graphic output and mouse input are built into the language.

    The language is written in C and is open source. Main target platform is the web browser using WASM. However, it also runs natively in Windows and Linux.

    The one-pass parser and compiler is quite fast. In the Web IDE, each time the Enter key is pressed, the program is parsed and formatted up to the current line.

    The AST interpreter is fast, much faster than CPython for example.

    The language is statically typed and has as data types numbers (floating point) and strings and resizeable arrays. Variables are not declared, the type results from the name (number, string$, array[]).

    Uses: Learning language, canvas web applications, algorithms.

    For example, I solved the AdventOfCode tasks with easylang.
