What is turbowarp? Well turbowarp is a transpiler that turns Scratch into full on JavaScript.


That sounds good on paper, until you see how many kids think their sandbox is going to be the next big thing with their turbowarp client and wordpress site. Whilst people managed to get past the limitations of 2d engines and managed to create 3d games in them (I am looking at you, alex and luke), you need to have experience, something these "sandbox owners" don't have. They most likely know nothing about *real* programming.


So for those 3 people thinking their turbowarp scratch wordpress "site" is going to succeed, well, I am sorry to break it to you, but:



  1. You won't succeed

  2. There are robots scraping various wordpress sites in an attempt to find vulnerable ones

  3. Your source code is 100% public as a consequence of using scratch


Thank you for listening to my ted talk

This is more of an Argument against badly made sites than turbowarp. Turbowarp is actually a really useful program, making scratch projects faster and smoother and allows for really big projects. I do agree with your arguments but turbowarp has allowed the development of scratch into a bigger world.


Your arguments don't actually apply on turbowarp itself, but on scratch as a whole as all of the projects you were indirectly talking about are also perfectly possible to make in scratch without performance issues. Turbowarp isn't the root cause of this issue, nor is scratch. It's the games made on there, and the choice to use it for a big project.

Footnote on your post, scratch is written in javascript but not compiled, which means it's run block for block tediously. Compiling it allows smoother performance and removes some silly coding hindrances.

You probably haven't heard of compiling
