Very interesting! So the language looks similar to Scratch and Blockly, but targeted to mobile web. I would like to see a comparison overview.
Anyone have a link to a published paper?
This is from Microsoft Research so I would expect there to be one, eventually, relating this to similar efforts.

This was proven to work better on touch-devices.
