Most websites are quite easy to describe in English, yet programmers write their code in JavaScript, which looks nothing like English and which for anyone other than an expert is very hard to follow. So we created ~ec~, a language that looks a lot like English and lets you code much the same way you describe your site. It's a productivity tool you can use to build parts of websites or even entire websites.

For example, suppose you want to react to the user clicking a screen element by turning the background of that element pink. This is an action requiring a small piece of CSS that sets the 'background' style of the element to 'pink'. In ~ec~ it's just that:

~ec~ looks like English; not conversational English, admittedly, but the sort of English we use when giving directions or following a recipe. A formalized version of English, that doesn't use the symbols usually found in conventional programming languages, which cause ordinary people such grief when trying to match brackets or figure what a triple-equals is for.

My name is Graham Trott. I've been writing easy-to-use high-level compilers for 30 years or so amd using them for a range of real-world projects. Since at the time of writing I'm now over 70 years old, ~ec~ will be the last in the line. This website, hosted by GitHub, is the public-facing side of the [EasyCoder repository](https://github.com/easycoder), where you will find all the source code, example programs and much more. The website will probably outlive me by some margin so I can't guatantee I'll be around to provide help, though you're welcome to try me at gtanyware@gmail.com.
