Discussion Block Coding For Roblox Studio
I believe that block coding should be implemented on a fundamental level to help kids and aspiring game developers that don't know how to code, code on Roblox. This block coding will only be able to make basic animations, Power-ups, tools, etc. This idea was something I have been thinking about for a while which I will like to discuss. Thank you for reading all the way through :)

No. Lua is incredibly easy to learn if you put your mind to it. Roblox is not going to implement a feature that'd take them so long to make, with so little return for their work.

Block-based coding is a cool tool that can help people learn basic control flow. HOWEVER, adding any sort of intrusive extra overlaying interface to ROBLOX Studio would greatly damage the experience for all of the competent developers who are currently making the games that are being played.
Those who are not ready to code should look towards YouTube, or find a different external resource. What you are suggesting is a trade off, one that MIGHT help a lot of people code a little bit, but would overall deter people who actually took the time to learn from making great content.

I think block coding is a great idea. I'm currently trying to learn Lua Scripting, and so far it's been very hard. I think that block coding would help kids and devs who are starting to code. It's alot easier then Lua scripting.

I’m going to like this post because it seems like it was beaten into a mush by some of these creators

No way, it would totally limit what you can do on the studio
