''Predictions'' for Scratch 4.0

Here is the list of all predictions:
Scratch 4.0 will drop support for 32-bit Windows systems.
Scratch 4.0 will release soon in Ubuntu: required OS: Ubuntu 16.xx or later
Scratch 4.0 supports ‘'Aero’' design in macOS Tahoe
Scratch 4.0 will support other Linux distros as ‘'App-Image’': required OS: 2015 Linux distros onwards
Scratch 4.0 will support Windows Servers.
Scratch 4.0 will support Debian back.
The editor now has new blocks lsuch as the play/pause sound block, and more.
In the website:
Scratch has a major design.
Uploading a animated profile picture is no longer possible. This also happens in projects and studios.
More coming soon

''Predictions'' for Scratch 4.0

Sorry to critique all your predictions but…

Just use the turbowarp application for linux
It's called liquid glass
Windows Servers are Windows, theres no difference other than the installed software
Ubuntu is based on Debian
Why don't you like Animated Profile Pictures?

…and those are my critiques

''Predictions'' for Scratch 4.0

I predict that there will be some tracking of which assets assets are based on, so that if you modify someone else's asset it will link it to them.

Haven’t they already started working on that?

''Predictions'' for Scratch 4.0

this is a bit of a far-fetched theory but: i predict 4.0 will be based on 3.0 instead of being yet another complete rewrite (given that the st is still working on it on the public github repositories and stuff. and they're working on major refactors as well, like moving the editor stuff into one repo)

There does seem to be a closed rewrite of the website underway – probably not to change styles but still a rewrite – at least according to this PR. Editor will probably remain untouched though

Do you think there will be a web version of Scratch 4.0? Also highly unlikely they will use liquid glass theming unless they make a native mac app or mimic it in the browser

some people have made websites using scratch (or its derivatives like turbowarp) and that renders with webgl so that might count

I don't think it will be called “Scratch 4.0”. It will probably be “a new (major or minor ) update to Scratch 3.0” or “Scratch 3.1” (or Scratch 3.3 as the offline editor is 3.29.xx)

I totally agree with you. I think that everyone that expect something incredible will be strongly disappointed. In my opinion, it will just be a Scratch 3 rework finally updating the website to 3.0 design.

Right. However I think it will just be an other version of 3.0. A good example would be the PS5 and the PS5 pro. They’re not identical, but there isn’t a very big gap between them
