As a programming instructor the Eve demo video gave me goosebumps. The emphasis on prose+code, world=data, and the discoverability afforded by the inspector are of particular interest to me.

Our current learning stack for folks with zero coding experience is Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu) to Processing (https://processing.org) to Java.* I'll be watching the Eve project carefully to see how it might fit into our intro to programming path.

*If these intro students continue to our full program they learn C#, SQL, PHP & JS/HTML too.

Your curricular path sounds similar to the one we use at The Coding Space (https://thecodingspace.com). Might I suggest Woof (http://woofjs.com) as alternative JavaScript graphics framework to transition students from Scratch to text based programming?
