what is the difference between scratch and snap

One has a cat.

Snap is better in basically every way apart from the paint editor, however scatch is for teaching younger people to code. While snap is intended to be a sort of ultimate block based coding language

I’ve moved there almost entirely and basically any scratch user can transition over as long as they are at a medium skill level
If you have any Doubts just ask on the snap fourms for more info

That's subjective. Snap has significantly more blocks — which can be troublesome for newcomers who can get overwhelmed by all the different blocks. In this sense, I would argue that Scratch is more beginner-friendly.

I don't use Snap often, but I'd say that Snap is a pretty good “expansion” of Scratch. Once you have knowledge of programming principles that Scratch provides, and you feel like you are ready to move on to another programming language, but you still want to use blocks instead of text, then Snap is a pretty good next step for you.

Another downside, however, is that the Scratch community is indeed much much larger than the Snap community.

i have never heard of snap, scratch and python are the only coding websites i heard of. i took a look at snap and it is quite similar to scratch. but i agree with Za-Chary, scratch is more beginner-friendly.

Snap was known formerly as BYOB, and that itself was actually a modification of the Scratch software at the time (version 1.x). It would be no surprise to see Snap as being an advanced version of Scratch (because it kinda is an advanced version of Scratch!).

Well, Python does have an official website: https://www.python.org/

But it's not like Scratch or Snap where you can share your programming projects. Which is to be expected as Scratch and Snap are more like learning tools and Python is a practical language for real-world applications. (On a related note, there's actually quite a lot of practical block-based programming nowadays, including MIT App Inventor and WaterBear. Definitely a far cry from about a decade ago when using blocks to program was a revolutionary concept).

I my opinion I think Snap! Is more advanced. Scratch is more more beginners

Snap is almost like Scratch 2 (and no I'm not talking about the kind that medians uses)

Actually, python is a programming language like Node, C, etc. and a website is not even a big part of it, unlike scratch, so python is a coding language. (But, scratch can be categorised both as a programming language AND as a website)

I think scratch is better, and that snap copied scratch (vary familiar costumes), and I only herd of it because of a coding book that go's with it. Pluss scratch is More friendly, and it has a cat.

Snap copied Scratch

Snap is a modification of Scratch, they didn't copy.
EDIT: Enhanced on the sentence
Also i think this is technically a necropost but I'm too afraid to say.
