Pathbird looks really interesting. I am trying to understand what the main product is. One can design a curriculum and the lesson content is hosted in a Jupyter Notebook? If you were designing a course to teach a language, that language would have to be supported by Jupyter? |

It’s not the Jupyter notebook (or lab) frontend, it’s a custom webapp built for learning and specifically around exercise based, guided learning. So a student will go through exercises (mostly multiple choice and code-based “autograded” exercises) to check their understanding and guide them through a lesson.
This style of learning tends to work best with interactive languages (Julia and Python and R at present). Theoretically we could support other languages with Jupyter kernels (including Go and C++, etc) as well. I wonder how well those languages would work in this context considering it’s a bit hard to be “iterative” with those (but consider than a challenge rather than a limitation!).
Feel free to reach out with any questions/comments/concerns and I can answer in more long form!
