Thanks! Not yet, the hard part isn't reading the code, it's simulating how it runs. That logic is built specifically around JavaScript such as closures, async/await, the event loop, so another language means a new interpreter, not just a new parser. Python would be the most natural next step though
Philip Roberts' JSConf talk is one of the best technical explainers I've ever heard, it was a direct inspiration for the async module specifically. The main gap Vivix fills is async/await, that talk predates modern async patterns by about a decade. Curious whether the guided modules or freeform editor would be more useful.
Not currently, Vivix is focused on helping developers and learners understand JavaScript execution at the instruction level: call stack, heap, async/await and more. Visualizing coding-agent output would be interesting though
