We have been extremely lucky in our mentors. Jens cut his teeth in the company of the Smalltalk pioneers: Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, and the rest of the gang who invented personal computing and object oriented programming in the great days of Xerox PARC. He worked with John Maloney, of the MIT Scratch Team, who developed the Morphic graphics framework that's still at the heart of \Snap{}. The brilliant design of Scratch, from the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab, is crucial to \Snap{}.
-{\bf\em Our earlier version, BYOB, was a direct modification of the Scratch source code. \Snap{} is a complete rewrite, but its code structure and its user interface remain deeply indebted to Scratch. And the Scratch Team, who could have seen us as rivals, have been entirely supportive and welcoming to us.}

Brian grew up at the MIT and Stanford Artificial Intelligence Labs, learning from Lisp inventor John McCarthy, Scheme inventors Gerald J. Sussman and Guy Steele, and the authors of the world's best computer science book, \textit{Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs}, Hal Abelson and Gerald J. Sussman with Julie Sussman, among many other heroes of computer science.
-{\bf\em In the glory days of the MIT Logo Lab, we used to say, ``Logo is Lisp disguised as BASIC.'' Now, with its first class procedures, lexical scope, and first class continuations, \Snap{} is Scheme disguised as Scratch.}

We have been fortunate to get to know an amazing group of brilliant middle school (!\@) and high school students through the Scratch Advanced Topics forum, several of whom have contributed code to \Snap{}: Kartik Chandra, Nathan Dinsmore, Connor Hudson, and Ian Reynolds. Many more have contributed ideas and alpha-testing bug reports. UC Berkeley students who've contributed code include Michael Ball, Achal Dave, Kyle Hotchkiss, Ivan Motyashov, and Yuan Yuan. Contributors of translations are too numerous to list here, but they're in the ``About...'' box in \Snap{} itself. This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation grant 1143566, and in part by MioSoft.
