I have mixed thoughts about Phosphorus. I really appreciate having it when my projects are too slow to run, but after all, it is very underdeveloped and the results are sometimes extremely different when running under it.
I'd say we should wait for nXIII to fix some urgent bugs before officially giving it the green light. I agree it would be a fantastic addition to projects, but now probably isn't the time to endorse it.

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

Phosphorus is still in beta stages and is buggy with vector graphics. Sure, it's fast, but it may run too fast to keep things like AMVs on time, plus the fact that anything more than a simple project crashes my tablet. Also, it isn't endorsed by the ST. No Support.

Yeah, although Phosphorus is really useful I'm not sure if it should be an “official” part of the site, at least just not yet.

What if one of the Scratch Team members went rogue and deleted the whole site? No support for Scratch. /sarcasmWhat if nXIII were to go rogue and change it into a malicious site?Why are you uncomfortable? It's made by a trusted ATer nXIII. As Phosphorus isn't official a Scratch website created by the Scratch Team, I'm uncomfortable with them endorsing it.
Nevertheless, I don't support. Cheeseeater sums up my opinion.
(I'm just being theoretical; that could happen to anybody. I'm not saying nXIII is going to go rogue, please don't ban me ST.)
Remember the official Scratch Wiki? It was based on another Scratch Wiki, but the original one wasn't on scratch.mit.edu, so Scratch couldn't use it as its official one.

nXIII actually worked at the MIT Media Lab over the summer and has made countless contributions to the Scratch editor and player… That doesn't sound like a rogue.What if nXIII were to go rogue and change it into a malicious site?Why are you uncomfortable?

I wasn't implying nXIII would hurt Scratch, I was just being theoretical. I wouldn't like the Scratch Team to officially endorse anything unless it belonged to Scratch. Perhaps the Scratch Team could host their own version of Phosphorus on scratch.mit.edu. nXIII actually worked at the MIT Media Lab over the summer and has made countless contributions to the Scratch editor and player… That doesn't sound like a rogue.

That argument I use for block ideas. This is not a block idea. Your attempted irony is invalid.No support, easy to workaround.

You lack full support for anything that has a workaround. I can't help but interpret this as slightly hypocritical.That argument I use for block ideas. This is not a block idea. Your attempted irony is invalid.No support, easy to workaround.

There is certainly a difference and I acknowledge that however they fall under the same category of creating unnecessary complexity. You're evidently a supporter of that.Again, notice the difference between a block idea and this idea?You lack full support for anything that has a workaround.

Another reason Scratch shouldn't endorse Phosphorus is that it enables people to see unshared projects if they have a link.

This may seem like a good idea. But many problems will occur. Semi-support.
- Third-party site
- Sees unshared projects
- Could be confusing to New Scratchers

How? Phosphorus is just a player to run Scratch projects faster, it's as easy as the normal Scratch player, running a Scratch project isn't confusing for New Scratchers, so phosphorus wouldn't either.
