Who doesn't remember when were kids the amazing Scratch programming language?

My son uses that.

Ah yes, I remember when I attended uni, it was the second semester and we had a substitute teacher. She fucking came in and started showing "visually" how a loop works in Scratch.

Now that was real bad.

When I was a kid we had basic...
Learned pascal in school :p

Used it a lot in mit app inventor tough

@Haxk20 Pros start with C or some other native language. lol

That moment you feel old, because you know this thread is full of 2000's kids.

GUIs were barely existent when I was a kid.

I remember that, it was a relief after "imagine logo", where you write commands in a localized language to move a turtle with a paintbrush up its ass, but methods are created with a glitchy 90s GUI, and they can't call themselves unless explicitly set to recursive, and it's supposedly strictly typed but only using hungarian notation except for non-recursive methods which are basically macros, and to top it all off bitwise operations are slower than drawing commands.

Damn, scratch was released in... 2007? The fact that some teenagers now will have never known a world without its existence makes me feel like I'm 80. Thanks guys.

I was a year out of college when it released publicly. Just about to check it out for my 6 year old though.

I wish I was a kid when that was out.

I would have been a lot younger now.

Well, in the 90s we had stuff like visual basic, wich I used a lot. Was the closest we had to visual programming :p
To bad visual Studio products are so bad... Like we had to create installs with libraries, like 100mb of libraries for a program that was 2mb...

I fixed it tough, copy paste dlls to the program main folder, 3mb program :p that's only two diskettes. And my programs worked till windows 10

Glad I grew up during a time where this crap did not exist yet

@Yggdrasil Any particular reason you think it's bad? Not as a programming language but as a child's toy and basic learning tool.
