This is great...I am currently teaching 3 classes of 8th graders an intro to html, css, and javascript and am going to show this to them!

Nice! I spoke to 50-60 middle schoolers last month. We built a Flappy Bird clone based on the Code.org tutorials and a few of them really caught the spark. This is why I recommend JS, CSS, & HTML for entry level programming courses!

Really anything involving graphics and interactivity. It's why I still remember moving the Logo turtle around.

This is called interactive development; if you liked this, check these out: * Interactive programming Flappy Bird in ClojureScript: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZjFVdU8VLI * Live-editing React app without refresh: https://vimeo.com/100010922 These demos aren't smoke and mirrors, I and many others do interactive development, 8 hours a day, writing regular web apps.

There's also my favorite: live-editing a VR environment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db-7J5OaSag

This makes me think of a new requirement for a hypothetical programming language: this requirement is that the programming language supports a coding style where additions to the code (new functionality, or bugfixes) are appended at the end of the code text, rather than inserted inside the existing code. I wonder if a language like this would be feasible and practical.

Are there any good approaches for doing this without a specific framework?

How would that be different from the way CSS currently functions, where if B is parsed later than A and references the same selector, B's behavior overwrites?

I feel like someone could build a game with this. Where you see the code being writen as you make your choises. That would be super cool. Anyway, that's an amazing job you did OP.

I'm not sure what the overhead would be for something like that... When you get to a certain level of complexity, canvas or webgl are usually a better targets.

I teach high school students how to code and I thought the same thing. Wonder if there's something here that could be spun into a tool to help learn coding.
