I was thinking of Math Piper role in math education. It looks like ti
could be a useful tool for teacher to pick up in a classroom and maybe
this was the original vision. By having such an easy access to math
tools:

Programming mathematically
Symbolic mathematics
GeoGebra
...
and other tools that will be developed (like scratch and see below...)

a teacher can pick tools that are appropriate for a particular lesson/
topic.

Eventually after development stabilizes common tools for all packages
could be developed and stream-lined
For example the ability to create applets (I was positively surprised
to see the Math Piper supports this with GeoGebra)

One are to consider is to follow how the language Mathematica is
developing and to pick aspects that can be useful and bridge them with
MathPiper (in particular natural language recognition)

It could be used for Computer Science courses that focus on
mathematics.

I propose to add to this another tool that I have been working on with
a colleague which I call MuMart (for Music Math and Art). This
language addresses mathematical topics that GeoGebra does not cover.
