Researchers have introduced NL2Scratch, a new benchmark designed to evaluate natural-language-to-code generation specifically for block-based programming environments like Scratch. This benchmark includes over 300,000 program-description pairs, with a focus on semantic alignment rather than just lexical similarity. Experiments with large language models show a significant gap between their performance on traditional metrics and their ability to achieve semantic consistency, particularly with longer or more complex programming tasks.
