I'm interested. Only time is really a problem. I think Python makes more sense than Nim. So, Python, but what GUI framework? Use an existing one? Which one? Qt? Or some web-based backend, so it could get packaged as Electron app? Or new simple framework? But this is too much effort I think. And how to do the IDE with integrated GUI designer? New from scratch, or use sth existing? Maybe based on PyCharm?

Those are all the right questions! If you drop me a mail perhaps we could get a threaded discussion going on each of those points? It seems if you have a Gmail address my replies go to spam btw! The GUI framework needs a lot of consideration. I wonder if the GUI designer can be a plugin for an existing IDE? I think the crucial part is the integration with the GUI. You need to hide all the magic about managing the UI and just let the user write event handlers, and not have them worry about blocking the UI.
