Beyond the information presented, this is really neat to see interactive visualizations with code that can be edited inline.

It reduces the apparent distance between "wow cool visualization" and the code that generated it.

The more people see code regularly, and can connect it with something they understand, the more likely they are to be code fluent.

Prolly off topic but: I show my code to my sister who is a professional artist every chance I get. It demystifies the process in her mind and makes me better at understanding what is happening around her.
