I was hoping this would be a visual editor for existing mainstream languages (Python, JS, PHP, C#, etc.). Sadly it isn't, but this makes me want to make one.

It is, for JavaScript and CoffeeScript. Additional adapters can also be created. Read http://ideas.pencilcode.net/home/htmlcss/droplet-paper.pdf :)

Oh I see! I hadn't noticed it was CoffeeScript.
