"Honestly I think Scratch has as high learning curve as simple programming languages like python or ruby" No. Simply no. Source: Taught First/Second/Third graders scratch once a week for 2 full years. The no syntax (no writing) part is extremely important. I've seen first graders completely crate a game from scratch (no pun) that I and other adults actually enjoyed playing as an honest to goodness challenging game. There's absolutely no comparison with "grown up" programming languages... even BASIC (that I myself programmed as a kid but that was only in middle school and later).
