What coding language is the code for Scratchblocks most similar to?

What coding language is this:

when green flag clicked
say [Hi!]
repeat until <(answer) = [1]>
ask [What number am I thinking?] and wait
end
say [Correct!]

most similar to?
For comparison purposes, look at the script below (same data, but different display format):

when green flag clicked
say [Hi!]
repeat until <(answer) = [1]>
ask [What number am I thinking?] and wait
end
say [Correct!]

maybe ruby?

I'd say Lua, mainly because of the if…then syntax.

local var = true
if var then
    print "hello world!" -- i'm pretty sure this is valid lua syntax
end
function functionDef()
    -- idk
end

Or maybe tosh, but that might not count.

It's probably Tosh, it looks very similar to scratchblocks.

when green flag clicked
say "Hi!"
repeat until answer = 1
	ask "What number am I thinking?" and wait
end
say "Correct!"

I was saying “but it might not count” since I assume OP was asking for “mainstream” programming languages, not one designed specifically to look and be like Scratch.

on mouseDown
put the name of me into oldName
repeat while the mouse is down
if the mouseLoc is within the rect of card button “boundary” then
set the location of me to the mouseLoc
set the name of me to “(” & the mouseLoc & “)”
end if
end repeat
set the name of me to oldName
end mouseDown

and people are saying python looks like pseudo code

somehow i think it's too simple to resemble scratchblocks

Yeah…that doesn't look like Scratchblocks code.

It is close to Javascript, because the Scratch website is coded in that language.
