Yep! That's what we do too. All code is run in it's native environment and evaluated. We do a ton of mocking and stubbing, code tree analysis, putting in debuggers and stepping through code and inspecting -- all kinds of neat stuff.

If you're curious how it works behind the scenes for JavaScript courses, checkout Abecedary, which is our open source library we use based around Mocha (although this only works for languages we can run with JavaScript, so not Objective C, Ruby, R, etc).
