I learned by switching code from blocks to JavaScript and seeing what was generated. Then I found out about Classes and I made a very early version of [this extermination game](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-25-cursed-jam-part-2/33446/91) with a bunch of little rats running around on the screen, and then I just never looked back. Most important answer: I don’t touch blocks unless I’m helping someone else with block code or I’m testing out an extension I’ve made. P.S. it’s actually “static typescript” and the full list of functionality is [here](https://makecode.com/language) My favorite feature is the conditional operator `? :` which I use a lot. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.makecode.com/t/how-did-you-learn-javascript/40144)._
