Plang is a programming language written in natural language.

Plang is a new type of programming language that provides various features over other operation programming languages. It has built in Identity, built in database, built in messaging, solves syncing between device, and more.

Plang provides the developer with features that he already is familiar with such as variables, condition and for statements as well as powerfull standard library, and language is easily extendable.

Plang provides increased security and privacy to both developer and users of their application, for free as in beer.

This is an example of how effienct it is to written in plang.

Following is executable code

CreateUser
- Make sure %password% and %email% is not empty
- Hash %password%, write to %hashedPassword%
- Insert into users, %hashedPassword%, %email%
- Post, create user in MailChimp
    Bearer %Settings.MailChimpApi%
    %email%
- Create bearer token from %email%, write to %bearer%
- Write %bearer% to web response

These 6 steps replace over 100+ lines of C#/Java/Typescript code, or if you do clean code programming, dozens of files
