It's not for product development, AFAICT. It's a quick scripting / prototyping / scratch-your-itch environment. And for that purpose it looks quite good, resembling the most productive Lisp and Smalltalk environments, but with more easily separable single-file "projects".

It also looks like a great environment to teach programming past toy-level environments like MIT Scratch.

While all of that is true, it is also incredibly powerful, giving you access to all of the Node.js and electron's API. Plus very flexible with the tools of your choice as we use webpack behind the scenes to build your projects.
