  Description     : JavaScript library for building visual programming editors


Blockly is a library that adds a visual code editor to web and mobile
apps. The Blockly editor uses interlocking, graphical blocks to represent
code concepts like variables, logical expressions, loops, and more.  Users
then drag blocks together to build programs.  It allows users to apply
programming principles without having to worry about syntax or the
intimidation of a blinking cursor on the command line.
.
Blockly is a ready-made UI for creating a visual language that emits
syntactically correct user-generated code. Blockly can export blocks to
many programming languages, including these popular options:
 -  JavaScript
 -  Python
 -  PHP
 -  Lua
 -  Dart
