Comparing Scratch, C++, Java, and JavaScript

Out of all 4 programming languages, C++ came out the earliest in 1983. Then Java came along in 1995. Scratch 1.4 came out in 2009 as well as JavaScript 2.2. In terms of difficulty Scratch is the easiest, then JavaScript, C++ next , and then the hardest, Java. Also, C++ and Java are programing languages.  Mean while JavaScript is a scripting language.  At the same time Scratch is not even it's own languege, it is just a fill-in-the-blanks program.  Thereby it is rather hard to rate them because of their differences.
