Title.

Snap is a modification of Scratch 1.4. It adds a lot of new blocks and features like first-class variables and lists, at the expense of almost nobody using it.

There's gonna end up being that one person who says “4096bIts uSeS iT!1!1!”

The main difference is that Scratch is meant to be an introductory programming languages. Snap! has more advanced features.

I don't think the new blocks and features make it less popular. It isn't even harder to use for beginners than Scratch.

What I meant to say that it's a pretty cool language with a depressingly small community.

That's true.

Additionally, only pre-4.0 BYOB (before it was renamed to Snap!) is a Scratch 1.4 mod. Later versions are completely from scratch (not Scratch).

Snap! is something like Scratch 1.4, but more advanced. Snap! has more blocks, and the event blocks moved to the control section!

That's not a feature of Snap, that's just how it was in 1.x.

Ok, i will say it.

I think it’s a version off scratch with a few new blocks in exchange for bad graphics and forums.
