Unfortunately blocks are extremely laggy. If it weren’t for that then I think I would have a higher opinion of them. I answered the question from my pov using Makecode, not which is the best for learning. The best for learning is 100% blocks!

Python is dying slowly in the corner and no one cares.

Blocks: Fine for what it does; many other open-source coding platforms like Scratch use coding blocks to teach new people about the basics of programming. It is very simple and very engaging for even children to understand. Multiple-colored blocks with words on them are more intuitive for most people than some dense text soup of other programming languages. Really, the only real issue is what @WoofWoof said about potential lag from too many blocks in the editor, and MakeCode still being a bit buggy sometimes

==========================================================================

JavaScript: Allows for more advanced and larger projects + pushing the limits of MakeCode (e.g., raycasting), and is generally less laggy and better for computer performance than blocks. But I think that blocks and JavaScript both serve 2 different purposes. For JS, I would be very doubtful that having to read 100s to 1000s of lines of code is going to get people engaged in coding. Many people on these forums prefer to use blocks since the syntax and the learning curve in JavaScript can get somewhat annoying to master fully. Blocks are the epitome of “simplicity” in this case.

Python: Don’t Know, Don’t Care. Legit, almost nobody on these forums uses

Python on MakeCode.

technically forever loops are very slightly faster than game updates because they have micropauses

how the heck did raccoon get there. blame me for not tapping on my phones screen keyboard, and instead doing the thing where you swipe to type

fixed version: idk, I dislike blocks. they remove access to classes and that random other stuff that is typescript exclusive
