Show HN: Esolang Park, a visual debugger for esolangs

Hey HN! Esolang Park is an online visual debugger interface for esoteric programming languages, that I've been working on for the past few months.

That's quite far away though - the project is quite early in development and currently only has 5 languages (Befunge-93, Brainf*ck, Chef, Deadfish and Shakespeare).
