vírusszer

Vírusszer is a Hungarian deadline planning programming language developed by the BME Informatics Department, Budapest University of Technology and Economics. It was created for the purpose of teaching programming concepts in a simple and effective way, aiming to provide a user-friendly interface for beginners. The language is specifically designed for educational purposes.

The name vírusszer, which translates to "virus" in English, might seem paradoxical considering the language's educational focus. However, the creators intended to convey the idea that the language is able to "infect" and simplify complex programming concepts. This is achieved by using a strict instruction set and providing a detailed, graphical syntax, allowing users to better understand the relationships between different programming elements.

A vírusszer compiler translates source code into a machine language, enabling users to run their programs on various platforms. The language supports a set of built-in functions and control structures, along with a module system that allows for the creation of more complex programs by combining elementary elements.

Vírusszer is primarily used in Hungarian universities as a teaching tool, as it helps students to grasp fundamental programming concepts by breaking them down into basic, easily understandable components. The language is still maintained and updated by a dedicated group of developers who aim to keep its core programming principles intact while simultaneously improving its overall usability and visual appeal.
