Yeah, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd hoped HotCocoa would be  
able to provide:  Something so easy that an entirely new segment of  
programmers (or "artist cum programmers") will find their creativity  
more easy to express (and that's kind of what "it's all about" in many  
aspects of what we offer, I daresay).
