       | I am a computer science teacher and have developed a teaching and
       | learning programming language with an easy-to-use browser IDE.
       | There are several tutorials integrated - from a programming
       | course for beginners to recursive programming.
       | 
       | The programming language and IDE run entirely in the browser,
       | there is no communication with the server after the web page is
       | loaded. Since it is designed as a PWA, it also works offline.
       | 
       | This language has a very simple structure: There are numbers and
       | strings as data types, arrays of these data types, and arrays of
       | arrays. Unlike Python, it is statically typed and has explicit
       | end-of-block delimiters.
       | 
       | Since the language is kept very compact, it suits beginners on
       | the one hand, and the browser environment on the other. The
       | environment loads quite fast, and the IDE is also able to parse
       | and format the code up to the current line on every "enter". The
       | language is written in C and runs using WebAssembly. JavaScript
       | is used for the graphical user interface and graphical output.

         | curious why you chose to have `end` with out `begin` it seems
         | like that is a very well established pattern, so I am assuming
         | you considered it.
