Make a tabe at the top of the screen where you could switch into python/java script. This would be helpfull because if ypu want to learn python but already know scratch you can see what blocks are what code. This would help people learn and add more ways to make scratch prodjects. It would mean that people could learn how to code very easly. Plus scratch already has a big fanbase of techers and schools that use it but after a certain age schools stop using it as much becuase the pupils need to learn python/java this means that lots of scratch userls leave. Microbit already uses this but instead of people having to move from scratch to microbit to code in java they can do it directly on scratch.
There is an image of this feature on microbit here —> https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hlPUBrsTlrs/maxresdefault.jpg. Infact if you look at my account you can see that my profile hasn't been uploading or been very active recently this is because I have moved over to another platform that has java and python. Please can you add this! Thank You evzzz

Replit is a good alternative. But, a few notes:
-I think Python is inaccessible on the browser without a certain library.
-Java doesn’t work in the browser either, i believe. JavaScript does, but see #2

2.2 Text-based syntax in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). Others are interested in an option to view, convert, or download Scratch code to other programming languages. However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or teachers.
This suggestion extends to coding, viewing, converting, or downloading Scratch in any text-based language, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch. For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Tosh. It is a text-based programming language that serves as a text editor for Scratch projects.
