Research direction

Start by reading the issue and its linked paper on round-tripping, then compare the Blockly interface with the existing PXT experience. Done would require a defined round-tripping design and an agreed implementation scope; no files or tests are named.

Description

enhancement

The blockly interface is amazing. However, one thing that makes it feel very different from the existing PXT experience is the absence of round-tripping.

I found a paper on round-tripping by one of the blockpy contributors here, in case it is of any use to you for future developments:
