In other words, Scratch can interface with C code.

  More like "Scratch can generate some C code"

    The blog says C++ though. Forget everything about kids and jigsaw UI, ++ in the kernel, this ist huge! ;)

      There is also a C codegen available, still WIP though.

    So, time to start using scratch in a professional context. I know some BA's who'll have a lot of fun.

      The design workshop with a Surface on the wall is going to be tons of lego-colored fun !

      I'd say visual programming languages were first created to be used in a professional context. (Think BPEL and even earlier incarnations.)

  Looking the repos to refute your snark, but you appear to be correct. The example given seems to be the thinnest of wrappers around the kernel C API and translates directly into the equivalent C for compilation. Does not seem like native scratch code in the kernel a la Rust.

    I was looking at the repos too, not only at the linux module, but the whole "OS". Hoping for some cool scratch stuff.....but....it's just minimal wrappers. As an aside, I think scratch is great, it's definitely not just for kids, I think it's great for anyone learning programming

      A colleague of mine completed the first half of advent of code just using Scratch. She pushed it to it's absolute limits.
