This is all great news Andre. Interesting packages that "dissect themselves" in a "what makes me tick" way are doubly valuable, at least doubly.
Reeborg's World, which I just visited, looks really friendly / accessible, a great way to learn. I starting move( )-ing immediately. I look forward to going through this literature (perhaps including the JavaScript version, as materials to teach that "very important language" -- VIL? -- are on my radar). I really like having sites / materials like this to re-visit and study as I flit about from here to there (was just in Philadelphia, more bouncing around to come). Thank you for enriching our shared environment.
