[–] littletinman 10y ago ↗ The site says last modified in 2008... Might want to add (2008) to the title.It looks like a cool concept! It seems like a slightly more "code focused" Scratch. [–] vmorgulis 10y ago ↗ Yes very interesting. A more Logo-like approach. [–] dang 10y ago ↗ Ok, we added the year.
[–] erikbc 10y ago ↗ Wtf... What year are we in? Did you post this as a joke? [–] dang 10y ago ↗ Historical posts are always welcome on Hacker News. Snarky, dismissive comment are not. Please don't post any more of those. [–] erikbc 10y ago ↗ Fine. But when I commented it was not clear that it was a historical post; and the value of the post - and intentions of the poster - are still not clear.
