Pencil Code is an educational programming language and website. It allows programming using either Scratch-style block coding, or Coffeescript. Code runs directly in the web browser and can be shared with others.

History

Pencil Code was created by David Bau and his son in 2013. It was inspired by Logo, the 1967 programming language for drawing on a screen using a Lisp-like programming language.[1]. Google has funded improvements to Pencil Code via Google Summer of Code projects.[2]
