I think Scratch should be HTML5, or at least there should be an HTML5 edition. HTML5 is a much faster scripting language, and I think it would be best for Scratch to be HTML5. It would be useful because the big and slow projects would be fast again! And, to the 3D programmers, 3D rendering projects would be fast. I think the Scratch Team should make this change, soon. Also, please spread the word! I want this change to come true! At least can you make an HTML5 option, Scratch could be Flash and HTML5! I want to make a difference!

The reason I want HTML5 editor is because it will fix the sloooowwwww flash project player.
