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.

It would be worth it for A WEBSITE THAT IS BASED OFF CODING should teach kids how to code in other languages reconsider bad job scratch bad job

Honestly wouldn't it help people who came from professional developing or came from a software that used text that would help them understand it more. You could choose whether you want it or not. Similar to code.org i believe

It’s also rejected for the Scratch Team to “rethink” a rejected suggestion.

It’s still rejected.

I think they should rethink the no rethinking rule!

That is also rejected.

I want change to happen on scratch to improve scratch to teach kids to code to not just teach kids INSPIRE them

But it’s rejected, so it’s not going to happen. End of discussion.

I will fight this to teach kids not tell them their limits and tell them they can change the web they can be doing what they love: coding

Then they can use Tosh. The Scratch Team does not think adding text based code to Scratch will be beneficial.

Since this is rejected, I will close the topic.
