What Language Does Scratch Use?
Guys, I have a question, since Scratch uses html5, does that mean Scratch uses JavaScript?Your speed is your x position and your direction is your angle so when ever you do something you have to always set your angle to what you want or set your speed to your x position cause how are you supposed to go backwards?when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [left arrow] pressed?> then
Walking (-90) (-4)
end
if <key [right arrow] pressed?> then
Walking (90) (4)
end
end
define Walking (angle) (speed)
point in direction (angle)
change x by (speed)

Yes, but JS is only for the GUI, and isn't on every website. For more information see their GitHub repo.

What Language Does Scratch Use?
Before Scratch 2.0, it was coded with Squeak (a version of Smalltalk). Now, it's programmed with Adobe Flash (which is based on ActionScript).Actually,scratch is using both javascript and HTML5
Some more info you probably don't want
Phosphorus converts Scratch projects into Javascript so certain projects can run faster.
Currently Scratch is making an HTML5 version which does not need Flash.

For the website, it uses my favourite language, Python.
