Hello. Easylang is a domain-specific language for learning programming and also for small web canvas applications. It has a reduced set of functions, a simple syntax, a browser IDE and integrated graphics commands. It is statically typed and has only strings and numbers (floating point), arrays of strings and numbers and arrays of arrays as data types. Easylang is written by me and is open source (GPL).

It is mainly written in C and is executed in the browser with WASM (WebAssembly). The Easylang programs are compiled directly in the browser into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) which is then interpreted.

A recently added feature is that some code can be compiled directly into WASM code. This is useful for the "inner loop" and can multiply the execution speed.
