That company might fruitfully make their system available within a datacenter / "VPS"-type context, eg the way Cloud9 does it. (https://c9.io/, you make a free account, you instantly get a Web based editor connected to a Debian VM)

If their system accepts "mostly ordinary" code in eg C, a fair amount of stuff would probably work with it, so it could scale beyond educational exploration/tinkering, too.

I think they did exactly that with Amazon AWS instances (although I have to admit that I don't know the specifics).
