What Hacker News says
6 sourcesSeems to be GPLv3 https://github.com/chkas/easylang/blob/394e29a44458ac67f8483... although I think the line right above that stating "All rights reserved" is actually incompatible with GPLv3 which is designed to grant rights, not reserve them. I am not lawyerly enough to know what the story is with that "must contain a built-in function" clause.
Kind of sad it's not self hosted yet :-D
In Simple programming language with offline usable browser IDEShow HN: Easylang – A browser-based first programming language
Hi. I made Easylang to help beginners get started with programming. It is open source.

Why I think Easylang is for beginners better than Python.

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 w

eb applications, algorithms.
For example, I solved the AdventOfCode tasks with easylang.
It is open source.
