The ZPE Programming Environment, often just known as the ZPE, is a fully fledged language parser that features a concise programming syntax that produces powerful programs.
ZPE also seeks to be clean and concise, as well as well-documented
To date, all of these aims have been achieved in each release

As of May 2022, there are 225+ predefined functions to make it easier to create powerful programs.
function main()
$i = 10
print($i++)
end functionfor($i = 0, $i < 1000, 1)
print(floor(++$i + 3.3))
end for
for($i = 0, $i < 1000, $i++)
print(floor($i++ + 3.3))
end forwhen($i)
is 1 do
print("It is one.")
is 2 do
print("It is two.")
otherwise do
print("It is none of them.")
end whenThe Yet Another Simple Syntax (YASS) has been designed to be similar to that of existing programming languages such as Java, PHP, JavaScript, Python, C, VB.NET, C# and SML.
The syntax has taken the best of all languages.
ZPE is dynamical and weakly typed, allowing variables to be easily reassigned to another value of a different type.
ZPE also allows you to force types on variables using the Typo typing system.
ZPE is considerably faster than BRS that it replaces, and compilation time is much lower than ever
Time to compile and run (less is better)

Just as with BRS for .NET, the YASS syntax has been designed to be quick to write.
Things also read much easier as most of the syntax is designed to read like sentences.
Shorthands and shortcuts help write the code quickly.
Several alternative function names exist, for instance, string_replace can be substituted by str_replace.
YASS is designed for simplicity at the same time as functionality.
Like BRS, ZPE was designed to be an educational language. ZPE is also built well-enough to make it incredibly useful as a programming language for performing other tasks such as system tasks and the like.
The future of ZPE focuses on efficient designs - reusing what exists already to develop and expand the potential of ZPE.
The ZPE standard library utilises the code from the language itself to develop a library of very powerful functionalities.
