Scratch is just a really pretty syntax highlighter where you don't have to type. You still have walls of text. It's just pretty colors.

- dTal 9y agoIt's more than a syntax highlighter, it's a language where validity can be determined by static analysis, that prevents the programmer from making syntax errors in realtime. I think its potential as a serious tool is underrated.
- throwaway2016a 9y agoGood point. I was referring more to it's benefits in relation to this article. I don't think it adds much value over what the original app being discussed here did. I think switching to icons adds more value in that context.
