@Aut Yeah, I want to be clear though that there are games that have been and will be successfully developed in GDScript, even by experienced programmers, but yeah, it's definitely targeting a totally different audience. You can also try some of the other GDExtension languages (https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/other_languages.html) with varying success.

@Aut A lot of the discourse around GDScript is coming from beginners or people without deep programming experience, so that's probably why you don't see it come up as often. This is often why a lot of people opt for C# despite the deficiencies it might have with Godot because it's still just a normal general-purpose programming language using the standard .NET toolchain.
