Scratch

I just got a really crazy idea.
I program games in TADS and Inform 7 and I actually do it faster than I can use scratch.
So why not make a text mode in scratch?
This would save a lot of time.

Look at this:

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<turn cw( 15 )degrees>
<move( 10 )steps>
<broadcast[ abc123
<stop all>
[/blocks]

Wouldn't it be so much easier to just type:

When green flag clicked:
    turn right 15 degrees;
    move 10 steps;
    broadcast abc123;
    stop all.

I told this to a friend and he asked me, "What about broadcasting and variables?" I think broadcasting and variables could still work out. I use Inform 7, and it showed me that a variables could be dealt with in text. For scratch, it would be:

ABC123 is a variable.

Simple, isn't it?
I think the people behind scratch should look at Inform 7. It could teach them a lot.
