Not yet - I intend it when it reaches a certain spread - I don't want anyone to change that a little and then claim it as his work.

I wonder why you think someone else copying your work is a risk. I'm aware that some people stuff their GitHub profiles by forking projects and rewriting the author information, but I don't think that influences the original project's reputation in any way.

This is literally not a concern. There's a very large community of hobbyist programming language designers and I've never heard an instance of someone poaching another's language and running with it as their own.

  Where does this community of hobbyist language designers gather online?
  - ModernMech 8y ago
    /r/programminglanguages (17.5k subscribers) is a good start. They recently launched a directory of projects (50+) the group is working on: https://www.proglangdesign.net https://www.proglangdesign.net which also links to their IRC and discord servers. Also there's https://futureofcoding.org https://futureofcoding.org which has a growing community of language and tool designers focused on live-coding languages. There's a good number of projects being developed by members there.

I honest think the probability of that is quite close to 0.

> I intend it when it reaches a certain spread - I don't want anyone to change that a little It's a good decision. You've created an easy to follow programming language, built a wonderful interface, provided excellent instructions. People often forget that the essence of the code (the spirit of that code) is driven by the vision (and passion) of a single individual. Sometimes (but rarely) more than one person shares this vision. I have literally seen 100s of programming languages on HN and quite frankly, they are mostly copy/paste of existing languages built around the same mindset of others - providing no real advantages to their target audience. The target audience for https://easyprog.online/ide/ https://easyprog.online/ide/ is different. The cost of entry (in the manner you have built this) is much smaller than other options for beginning coders. You've done a nice job with this! I very much like that you wish to continue to control the direction until it can establish itself in some way.
