Why Scratch and Not Python, JavaScript, or C?
Scratch -
Python - print("Hello World!")
JavaScript - alert("Hello World!");
C -
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
// printf() displays the string inside
quotation
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}
Hello World!

Everything is free and built right into the website interface.
