Summary

Google has launched Blockly, a new visual programming language that facilitates application development through a drag-and-drop interface, akin to assembling LEGO bricks. Similar to MIT's Scratch, Blockly allows users to integrate graphic code blocks to construct simple functions, which can then be combined to build complete applications without requiring traditional typing. This release draws parallels to Google's earlier App Inventor project, prompting questions about the relationships between these block-based development environments. Developers might find Blockly useful for rapid prototyping, educational initiatives, or simplifying complex logic through its intuitive visual paradigm.

Google released a visual programming language Google Blockly, similar to the children programming language Scratch developed by MIT. You can build an application using some graphic objects, this is like playing LEGO toys. Eveny graphic object is a code block,  you can integrate them together to create simple functions, then you can combine some simple functions together to build a complete application. Users can drag blocks together to build an application. No typing required.This project looks like App Inventor given up by Google, we don't know whether there are relationships among Blockly, App Inventor  and Scratch.

You can download Blockly here.
