S.I.M.P.L.E.

S.I.M.P.L.E. Is My Programming Language for Education

About

As the acronym suggests, S.I.M.P.L.E. (or SIMPLE) is a programming language designed specifically for teaching programming.

The goal was to create a language that is easy to teach and understand, with the intention of being a middle ground between teaching programming with flow diagrams (too abstract) or with mainstream languages (too broad).

To achieve this, three principles were followed:

• Implementing only the bare necessities for a programming language.
• Adopting a verbose but natural syntax.
• Enforcing an inflexible but consistent coding style.

These ideas have lead to a language that should be very intuitive for beginners while intentionally inconvenient for development outside of learning-level programs.
