Given that we've seen things like C compilers written in Bash[1] and TLS libraries in Visual Basic[2], I think it's only a matter of time before someone with the right skills and motivation actually does it (or writes a compiler for $language in Scratch).

Yes, capitalisation of scratch was incredibly misleading in this case. It's easily checkable but slightly annoying. Hard to avoid though!

Even thought the S in Scratch is uppered, I still read it correctly.

Ironically the word "overloaded" is overloaded too.

Me also. The actual thing is probably pretty cool, but now that my hopes were up I'm finding it insufficiently whimsical.

I also misunderstood it in that manner.
