As is often the case, the title is unfortunately overloaded. I initially read this as writing code in the Scratch programming language[1] that compiles to assembly.

- userbinator 2y agoGiven that we've seen things like C compilers written in Bash[1] and TLS libraries in Visual Basic[2], I think it's only a matter of time before someone with the right skills and motivation actually does it (or writes a compiler for $language in Scratch).

- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoMe also. The actual thing is probably pretty cool, but now that my hopes were up I'm finding it insufficiently whimsical.
- ithkuil 2y agoIronically the word "overloaded" is overloaded too.
- hyperbolablabla 2y agoYes, capitalisation of scratch was incredibly misleading in this case. It's easily checkable but slightly annoying. Hard to avoid though!
- HumblyTossed 2y agoEven thought the S in Scratch is uppered, I still read it correctly.
