The virtual environment reminds me something described by u/patches765 (a user active on reddit regarding DND sessions). Basically he was active in a Startrek MUD decades ago for a while, and one of the administrator asked him to perform a task: take a (virtual) dog and do some scripting, so that he can assess his programming ability.

Now that this is definitely not a new idea, but I'd imagine, in the future, if the metaverse does sprang up, maybe we will see the same thing: Hey John Doe here is a widget which is a small window in the metaverse room 211, please write a script and make it interesting, you can do anything.

That definitely sounds very interesting. Man since I have a macbook pro at work, I might actually try it out, at least in the simulator.
