Scratch is a real programming language! Programming isn't about how fancy the tools you use are. It's about what you do with the tools you have. I started out in nothing more than QBasic.

QBasic was the Scratch of a certain era. The 0-to-pixels was small, the development environment offered useful help only a click away, and you could easily integrate it with external libraries if you wanted more advanced features or better performance.
