AnyaBASIC

[A]bsolutely [N]ot [Y]our [A]verage BASIC

"The little toy language that could."

AnyaBASIC is a portable Interpreted Programming Language made in Java. It has a syntax similar to BASIC with a bit of C, Javascript and PASCAL thrown in.

This is a "Toy Language", so don't expect much. However, while this started as a "joke", this language evolved into something which is capable of doing a lot more(games, graphics, etc). It's also a language whose keywords are in English so it should be a good language to use in teaching kids how to program.
