- nl 15y agoThat's Scratch users speculating on the reason, not an Apple statement. At the time Apple policies were very restrictive about non-approved languages (Flash, etc), but they have since been relaxed. Ironically I just posted asking if Apple would allow it now: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3161245 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3161245
- jonbro 15y agoalso, it wasn't really scratch that they didn't approve, it was a scratch player. The player downloaded and played scratch programs from the website. This continues to be something that is not allowed. I would like to see apple reverse this decision though.
