The [scratchblocks]Obsolete! :: cap[/scratchblocks] block is used when a cap block is somehow bugged.
Snap 9.0 should be rewritten from the scratch, change my mind.
I don't disagree, but you're probably better off learning how to create your own. Snap! correctly has to focus on teaching and can't really branch away from that without an exceptionally good reason.

I am literally making scratch's runtime in c++
might work on snap's runtime in lua
(after finishing scratch's runtime)
Cool! Keep it up!
I should clarify with something I said a second ago, in which I don't disagree with Snap 9.0 getting a re-write from scratch. Mainly in that, what I was trying to say is that's easier said than done.
But if you're re-implementing Snap or Scratch in C++ and see an alternate path to take to the direction Snap is going, I'd take it and build the language you want instead of waiting for snap to head the same direction as you are, cause the Snap team have goals they want to achieve, and I suspect they are not the same as yours. (Or mine for that matter)
Why do you say this? What's fundamentally wrong with the existing Snap! structure?
IDK. maybe Snap! Blocks look like this:
And scratch blocks look like this:
Do I have a point?
Yeah, they have more empty space above and below the text.
omg, scratch blocks look terrible
who worked on undo?
Ours? Jens, mainly.
remake it.
They have better things to work on rather than the undo button. Just avoid using it for now.
And abandon many years of work?
That's a terrible idea.
That's a little rude. Are you still making your own language in C++? Turnabout is only fair play, when you're done have Jens test it for constructive criticism...
Again, I can say that I want more from Snap than the dev's can provide because when push comes to shove, Snap! is primarily a teaching language and has to bend to the wills of things that need to be taught to beginners, and I know my ambition is far greater than my skill.
I think there does need to be another language that can be an IDE with compilation and language comparators and whatever other features would be nice to have to bring it to "production" capabilities for a block language. I would write it myself, but the issue with that is me lol.
I'm impatiently waiting for the Snap 3.0 course on SAP if it ever turns up, Assuming I haven't missed it or it's been postponed or outright cancelled, because I'm hoping either something in that course can crack through the wall that is my stubborn brain or I can to use the SAP framework to ask better questions.
But I don't come in demanding features get re-written. Atleast, not intentionally anyway.
no, it just sucks when i can't undo
