Suggestion: "true" and "false" booleans!

No support. Easy workaround. New scratchers know that 1 is not = to 7

can you actually give an example of where this would be used in Scratch?
Yes, most programming languages have TRUE and FALSE but that's because they have boolean values. We just have floats and integers.
So to use this in Scratch, example below:

if <true::operators> then
    
move (10) steps
end

would mean you're just using raw true/false, but it's not something the script will change like variable values so you know automatically that it will be true, and you can just leave out the if.

also yeah, workaround.
and if we just hand new scratchers everything they need on a silver platter, they'll never learn.

This. I came here to post this exact argument (came up with it in my head), but I guess I got ninja'd…

I do kind of agree, but I quoted that post to make the true block operators

No support easy workaround , all that new scratchers need is some basic knowledge of math

Workaround in my sticky.
