>"Scratch is not built to be a "teach your kid programming languages"

You might want to change the wikipedia page that describes you to the whole world

(from the first line of wikipedia)> Scratch is a high-level block-based visual programming language and website aimed primarily at children as an educational tool for programming, with a target audience of ages 8 to 16.

I would say scratch is a brilliant first language for children

I think the message was more that the aim of the project is not to teach kids to be software engineers but rather a platform for creativity and cognitive exploration.

That is not exactly incompatible with the Wikipedia page! It's a programming language and aimed at children but the aim is not to get your kids ready for Go and C++, it's to engage their brain in something positive.

(And of course, neither incompatible with the claim that it _also_ prepares kids to learn Go and C++)
