Nope, it's nothing to do with PXT (created by Microsoft from their TouchDevelop platform). What they do share is a re-use of Google's Blockly project to make the blocks work. The other thing they share is they target the micro:bit -- we use MicroPython, PXT transpiles blocks to Javascript and then to something a bit similar to the CLR layer flashed onto the device. I was asked how much effort it would take to make a blocks based UI, and after a couple of weeks we had what you see at the link I posted. One thing we're missing is a browser based emulator, but there's one been built by another member of the community which we could re-purpose. N.
