I have been doing python since I have a scratch account and even earlier than that and I've found that many things in scratch is related to python!

Like… what?

Like (if-else, or, (well It's print but in scratch, it's say but modified by scratch), variables and the list is all same to same in scratch and python!

No, it's made in javascript, html & css.

Also, this question should be in QaS.

that is usual in programming languages

If-else and variables are very similar in most programming languages.

No, Scratch isn't based on Python. As LankyBox01 said, it's written in JavaScript.

what proof do you have? if you look in the code it's made of javascript

They're saying that Scratch is some block-based version of Phyton because it has if/else and variables. Hey, did you know that every programming language that's widespread uses variables and lists?

Agreed. I think that the OP is asking about common design principles and not what Scratch was implemented with (Squeak, Flash, React).

From what I’ve read mud greatly influenced the design and so did an earlier set of physical blocks that could be used to make programs.

Ok I think I started a great discussion!

But I never said in what lang. scratch is programmed in I said that “it is based on python” or maybe!

Scratch is not based on Python, I don't think. Python is an object-oriented programming language, while Scratch is not. Conditional statements, variables, lists, loops, and the like can be found in most, if not all, programming languages.

Every coding websites have the coding if else. Scratch just a coding site for beginners so they made it into blocks.

It might be interesting if someone sent an email to John Maloney and asked him if he used any specific languages as reference when he was building the initial prototype of the Scratch Editor.
