I'm curious as to what it will bring.
I don't suppose you can transition over to some really powerful google servers?

Also, I don't see why some people have such a large issue with google.
“Don't be evil”
That's their motto, and i have not seen anything to prove the contrary.

Antitrust laws exist to protect the public from being stripped of choice, their effectiveness is another story which i will not be getting into.
Google doesn't have a track record of making people miserable, in terms of companies to worry about, this one isn't even worth mentioning.

Anyways, can't wait to see what happens with this!
I don't suppose moving to powerful google servers would bring about cloud lists?

I have seen them make some bad desitions, but not for an open source nonprofit. Also, they try to fix them.

Scratch 3.0! Yay! But my only concerns about Scratch 3.0 are…
If Scratch 3.0 is compatible with Scratch 2.0 projects, then THANK YOU SCRATCH TEAM! You saved so much time for me!

I discourage the usage of Javascript because of how too fast its gone for color-sensing projects. Previous Penguin Dash games that I made would be unplayable because the player would fall through the floor on Javascript, just because it uses color-sensing scripts.

So, will Scratch 3.0 keep its original pace as Scratch 2.0? If so, then my time is saved! If it acts the same as Javascript, then I'll have to add ground sprites for the player and everything else to stand on for it to work properly.

So, that's about it. If Scratch 3.0 doesn't do any of those things, then thank you Scratch Team. You saved me tons of time and effort.

#Scratch3Hype

Scratch 3/Blocks is a new development from Google not related to Phosphorus, ScratchHTML5Player, and 2.0. Which means even though it's JavaScript, color sensing will work. Also since it's different sadly 2.0 projects will not be directly compatible, but they will probably make a converter

No, its going to be compatible, like 1.x to 2.x (squeak to flash)

Will Scratch 3.0 change the way projects work, like what 2.0 did?

We view the Google announcement as one step in our process of developing the next generation of Scratch, which we informally call Scratch 3.0. This new version will be designed to run well on mobile devices and all modern browsers, and it will be based on HTML5 (moving away from Flash). We hope to start rolling out Scratch 3.0 sometime during 2017.

google chrome doesn't support windows vista anymore, so I'm unable to update it. I'm also unable to update to windows 7, 8 or 10 because vista is embedded into the hard drive. will I be able to run scratch 3.0 with an older version of chrome? if not I'll cry. please don't make me cry
