    Thanks! In terms of applications, our initial work has been to export functions as microservices onto existing platforms (e.g., Lambda). We've also explored downloading code as eit…

    Thanks! Learning is certainly an application we've considered. We have found significant interest in structured editing paradigms from those newer to coding and those who find the …
