MakeCode is far more advanced, because it’s a direct adaptation from JS to blocks. Scratch uses some kind of weird pseudo-environment or something, and coding in it gives me a headache because it violates a bunch of coding principles. Also, not just regarding code, makecode has a bunch of handy built-in gamemaking tools like tilemaps, which is something you have to make yourself in Scratch
The reason it can seem limited is because it has a significantly smaller community, so there’s not as many super massive technical projects

Not exactly, makecode actually uses static TypeScript, but it’s referred to as JavaScript for the sake of simplicity.
Some features are cut (you can see which at [makecode.com/language](http://makecode.com/language)) and you also can’t import any external modules.
