Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is a lot of code that blocks don't cover, and I always am frustrated whenever I have to use javascript just because I'm missing one function.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like there to be a block called "do code (code) in (Javascript/Python)

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered creating a function that allows you to write something like that, but it would require a lot of ifs.
