Very nice! I was expecting a 300 MB app running in the browser but... this is refreshingly minimalistic. One could use this when introducing someone to programming. Exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for, as I try to teach a few things about programming to my little cousin. But I find most Scratch-like [1] applications are really cumbersome.

    Oh thanks! Cool. Love the didactic approach.

  Curious why you think Scratch is cumbersome ? Is it primarily the amount of js the scratch vm needs ? I got (re-) introduced to scratch few months back while collaborating with some people in the media lab (where scratch originated) and have had fun tinkering with blocks creating funny animations etc. in my free time.

    Just in term of user interface, actually. Something makes me feel awkard, I don’t know why... It looks like I am manipulating colored potatoes, while I am expecting to manipulate data, by writing pure functions... ;-) But maybe children love the way Scrath looks?

      You might enjoy http://www.toontalk.com/ http://www.toontalk.com/ for something more like manipulating data. (I played with it years ago before the web version was made.)

I was thinking of making a s-expression editor that would structure a lisp program as a tree, but it was a native program.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what this does by looking at the main screen. Neither the menu nor the options are very enlightening without context, and I don't see an obvious way to get to any.
