Why is Scratch recommended as a first language? It’s totally impractical. Nobody uses Scratch in industry. You can’t learn anything about object-oriented nor functional programming with Scratch. Sure, it’ll teach you about if statements and loops, but otherwise you will be largely unprepared for a real programming language like Java or Python or Ruby.
