My reason for creating Blockly Lua is to leverage kids' interest in Minecraft and other games to get them to try programming.
FWIW, regular Blockly lets you see the JavaScript and Python code corresponding to the blocks, to ease the eventual transition to text-based programming languages.
Man,I really respect your work,but i don't think this can be considered programming,or at least not programming at a sufficient level.
That's like speaking spanish using google translate:You can actually write some sentences in spanish,but if you study spanish you'll complete master the language and you can speak it without being on a translator.I hope i expressed the concept i want to say enough nicely.
