I'm not sure who this is for. On one hand multiplayer games are complicated to make, even with a dedicated framework, but on the other the tutorial wastes time explaining to me how to undo with ctrl+z and there's even a large infobubble on how to copy and paste text.

This is good feedback! I thought it’d be a great first programming language for people and so I think I have aimed the tutorial far too basic, probably even for them. Maybe that’s where I am losing people. I am going to edit it and see if that improves the retention.

This is an impressive project and hopefully it will allow more programming beginners to get into multiplayer programming. Huge congrats. However, I am wondering: if your programming language is aimed at complete beginners, why make your language untyped and include undefined? Those are both fully loaded foot cannons. Sure, the language looks more inviting and probably gives the impression of faster development, but I'm not sure it's worth the amount of bugs that will be introduced eventually.
