More generally, "theoretical physics software" seems like an area that many people are interested in
The list at http://www.theophys.kth.se/afsinfo/software/official.html is tragically bereft of software that relates to Physics (except Mathematica)

The software side of it is tricky though. You often need a mental model before you can code. That's got to come by text, video, or whatever. So I have to develop something like a dynamic book with an embedded REPL. I've heard of small efforts in that direction (_why's tryruby.org was good but it's been taken down), but nothing built-out enough to support a multi-year reading project.
Maybe give latex a symbolic math system while we are at it, so that it may check our notes as we type them. ;)
