They didn't mention what type of language it was, but they called it
a "scripting language" a number of times. There was no indication given as to
the level of language, and I didn't think to ask. It might be high level, or
it might be assembly level. I was thinking higher level (NQC, for example)
when they were talking about it, but they didn't actually say.
What they did say was that it was intended for older people, while the GUI was
for kids. They said that whatever you write in it can be viewed IN the GUI,
as well as whatever you create in the GUI can be viewed as a script. I got
the impression that you would be able to do this (switching back and forth)
directly from the environment. That is, that you wouldn't have to exit the
program, and start up Notepad. Though that's also just an impression, not a
direct statement.
They also mentioned that they hadn't quite decided what to do with comment
blocks in the GUI yet, probably they'd just display it as a generic block.
And I picked up just a hint that there might be some other constructs that
might not be viewable in the GUI other than a generic block, though again,
that might be my subjective interpretation, and not an actual fact.
