No. Not unless they get forced, but I don’t think that’ll happen.

All things come to an end. Scratch might never officially shut down, might just be left behind, but maybe it will be. Although, I don't anticipate the shutdown of Scratch anytime soon, considering that it's only gotten more and more popular since it's creation. It'll probably take a long while before a shutdown is even necessary. So, short answer, most likely not.

it might be forced to shut down, but it definitely won't shut down anytime in the next like 35 years. microsoft windows, another piece of software, has existed for nearly 40 years and is still going strong (until they force you to use copilot). remember, nothing lasts forever.

Maybe, but it prob won't happen for awhile, after all the chances of it happening within 10 years are slim but not nothing.

^^^ Nah.
In a world where programmers are ever becoming a more important job, things like Scratch will always be needed to help introduce people to it in a way that they can understand.
Because face it, post people have no idea what they're looking at if they see
const Cast = require('../util/cast'); class Scratch3ControlBlocks { constructor (runtime) { /** * The runtime instantiating this block package. * @type {Runtime} */ this.runtime = runtime; /** * The "counter" block value.

That depends on whether they are keeping up with legal, policies, and important information (like accessibility for example). Not everything lasts forever, but that doesn't mean that nothing should shut down in the next several decades.

Our civilization will probably destroy itself long before then and humans will be an extinct species.
It's not like we haven't gotten that close before, there were four separate instances where we nearly nuked ourselves into oblivion (in no particular order: the Cuban missile crisis, a Soviet RADAR malfunction that made it seem like the US launched their nukes at the USSR, a US spy plane getting shot down over the USSR, pilot dies in the plane from the anti-aircraft missile that shot it down, the CIA picking up the front of a Soviet nuclear submarine off the ocean floor to study). And all of that happened within a span of 25 or so years.
My point is, the Scratch Foundation will likely keep operating as long as it and its mission (teach kids to code) are relevant. Of course when humanity is destroyed for one reason or another the Scratch Foundation will disappear.

Let's band together and donate a couple billion dollars to the Scratch Foundation for nuclear arms research, that way it can defend itself in the event of global thermonuclear waryou're not factoring in the eventual heat death of the universe

There's no really definite answer to that really. Scratch has gotten more and more popular, so I doubt they will get shutdown for a long while, unless forced to, but I doubt that will happen either! What I think will happen most is if scratch gets forgotten, and left behind, like many other sites, but not necessarily shutdown.
