I agree. And it depends on you what you want to program - if you want to make an “animate your name”, make it! If you want to make a platformer, make it! If you want to make a 3D engine, make it! It doesn't matter how complicated it is, because Scratch is Turing complete!

I heard that Scratch 3 technically isn't Turing complete since there's a list size limit of 200k, while Scratch 2 was.

I am nine years old and I still like the way the editor looks. I prefer this one more than 1.4 or 2.0. Seriously.

I'm a TEEN and I love it…

i'm nearly a legal adult and i guess it's quite decent. I did try out a dark mode userstyle I saw but I've gotten so used to Scratch being light mode that it didn't feel right (also the dark mode userstyle wasn't that polished, since there were some things that looked wrong for a dark mode)

But I think that it can be removed somehow… and Scratch Jr is farther from Turing completeness than Scratch 3.0.
