It looks cool. You'll forgive me for not trying every example. However,

1. It doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Edge when the default Enhanced Security is turned on. You might need to ask people to turn that off. I'm not sure about a workaround. It panics with insufficient stack space.

2. How does it pay its own bills? If you get bored with it, what will happen to it? I'm sure Codecademy has a revenue strategy.

Just curious!

1. Thanks, I've never heard about this, will definitely need to check it out. Opened https://github.com/alexmojaki/futurecoder/issues/418

2. Because it all runs in the browser (thanks to Pyodide) it's just some static files, so it's extremely cheap to host. I can keep it going long after I'm bored with it. If I die or something and the site literally goes down, someone else can easily host it. There's already a slightly customised mirror of the French site hosted here: https://futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr/

That's really cool. Good work!
