On the one hand publicity is good, on the other... just read the comments. Sigh. So many idiots.

I'll cut them some slack :-)

There is only so much attention span around. Once it runs out, the result is quite random.

And the rabbit hole runs very deep on projects like Scratch, with several implementations etc.

I think that the most important part of this news is that at least
part of the Scratch community thinks it’s worth sticking with
Squeak/Smalltalk, rather than using Javascript as an implementation
language.

And a link to a book for children using Scratch (in Italian)

I wonder if there are similar books in English.
