**Easylang** is a simple programming language with built-in graphical functions and an easy-to-use and offline usable browser IDE. Its simple syntax and semantics make it well suited as a teaching and learning programming language. You can also use it to write graphical applications that you can embed in a web page.
|
|
|
|
*Easylang* is statically typed and has as data types only strings and numbers (floating point), resizeable arrays of strings and numbers and arrays of arrays.
|
|
|
|
[The browser IDE](https://easylang.online/ide/) includes various tutorials, including one for beginners.
