Hi! Please add reasons for why you support! Thanks.
I'm glad that you are looking out to make sure that people are giving reasoning, but most of these posts were posted before that rule. You have to be careful about that, but otherwise, just keep doing so.

Anyway, support since there really is no downside, and I'm sure everybody here has used a huge script like so.

Heh… more like community denial

I find it annoying when my blocks become big like this;

The main problem here is that the block is incredibly difficult to pick up, as well as being ridiculously large and untidy. I propose a button on the edge of blocks which are commonly combined with themselves which would expand the block to allow one more input, as shown:

When the “+” is clicked, the block gains an empty field.

If a block has more than two fields, when you hover the mouse over an empty field, the field sort of glows and a minus sign appears inside it. By clicking on this empty field, you will remove it.

Thoughts?

No support easily workaround able on the join block

set [initial v] to [(join [f] [asdsa])]
I hate scratch blocks lol
set [xyz v] to (join (join (join [] [world]) [world]) (initial))

also you can do it with ifs for ‘and’ and ‘or’
Would cause a lot of confusion to new less able scratchers.

Does n!+1=m^2 have interger solutions apart from n=4,5,7?

Yeah. I'm sure most people can figure out what a plus sign would do on a block with two compared/manipulated fields.

It adds another.

My signature is kumquat proof.

I think this would be a better idea:

<> or <> @delInput @addInput ::boolean operators
<> or <> or <> @delInput @addInput ::boolean operators
<> and <> @delInput @addInput ::boolean operators
<> and <> and <> @delInput @addInput ::boolean operators
join [][]@delInput @addInput ::reporter operators
join [][][]@delInput @addInput ::reporter operators

You click the arrows to add or delete a space.

The system in the OP is better: It lets you delete a specific input, whereas with yours I assume it would just delete the last one.

It's not actually my idea(it's somebody else's) and it would delete the last space.

Not really. Think about it in a positive way:

People have been wanting a:

([] ::operators

Block for a long time, the ‘glitched’ join is simply an effective alternative to the report string block.
Pretty incredible in my eyes.

I thought when you get to 2 spaces and click the delete button, then a warning will pop out saying “you cant' delete any more spaces, there has to be at least 2”.

Note: This thread was merged from here down

Whenever you have to join variables, text, etc

(join [Hello,] (join (username) [, how are you today?])

Sometimes (by that I mean most) they get ridiculously long.
But this is 2018 people! There should be a more sophistocated way to do this!
Here's my idea:

(join [3 v] [Hello,] (username) [, how are you today?] :: operators)

You'll be able to type in or select the number of spaces you want, instead of having to daisy-chain 200 of them.
I think this will make things alot easier!
Please comment suggestions below on how we can make this better!

better way:
(join[hello ][world]@addInput::operators)
when you click the arrow, another input is added like this
(join[hello ][world][ from ][high]@delInput@addInput::operators)
if you click the left arrow, then one input will be removed

I think this idea is excellent! We need the scratch team to see this now

I think I counted 9 people with support, but I'm bad at counting.

I agree that a

(join [# v] [] []::operators)

would be quite nice, though I do believe that they is sorta an easy work around (that does include using multiple

(join [] [])

blocks xD ) Though obviously the workaround wouldn't be as good.

Edit: since the workaround isn't that good, I support!

Edit: I made a some what simple work around with 8 joins but it's no where near what could be done with this block.
