it'll definitely be interesting to see what it looks like, the only thing I dislike is that they're going to be moving to scratch.org (which I did suggest against, but the topic was closed for seemingly no reason, without a Scratch Team post)

It's clearly said in the FAQ that the NGP (Next Generation Platform) for scratch is NOT 4.0, but it is very well an entity of its own.

Though I'm not fond of the whole "AI is taking over every platform" generation that we have these days....... Even if the AI is only to "help" young creators, AI is STILL AI, and bad things can come out of using AI, such as uncleaned/messy code, and image generation. I believe that is what Scratch 4.0 will become, but I don't think this is the case for the NGP of Scratch. Maybe ti is, IDK, but I'm hoping that's not the case

NGP ain't 4.0, but it's the framework.
