It's definitely a neat idea, but as a Python and JavaScript coder, I don't know how much I would actually use it.

For Python, my code tends to rely heavily on modules that aren't found in the Python standard library, which is limited when you're using a REPL that only has vanilla Python.

For JavaScript, code that I show tends to be more oriented to DOM manipulation rather than the console, so maybe that could be something that could be implemented?

That said, this is probably best for teaching novice programmers, which seems to be the goal anyway with Codecademy. :)

Keep up the great work, I really find what you guys are doing to be a huge contribution to education.
