This is quite amazing! I might use it when I give lectures.

How abstracted is the interface? Will there be an API that let's me plug in another language, for instance? I would be incredibly surprised if that is already the case, but I thought it would not hurt to ask ;)

Python is very well suited for being mapped to a block coding environment because it has such a large number of helper functions which enumerate all the things each module/object/function can do.

I have considered doing a similar project for javascript, but I had assumed it would require an entire new codebase for each programming language given how different every language is under the hood.
