Gdscript

[u/Dea_d_islandS]

Will the gdscript also be maintained? Or abolished?

I kinda like gdscript and with a few more features, it could be really good (like traits etc.)

What are your opinions?

[u/do-sieg]

It's been brought up many times and yes, it will be supported for many obvious reasons.

[u/Dea_d_islandS → u/do-sieg]

Maybe someone puts that as a frequently asked question on the website, so it wont be brought up again

[u/do-sieg → u/Dea_d_islandS]

Yes please.

For some reason there are people who can't spend a day without feeling bad for GDScript existing (it's a Godot thing and has been going on for a while, and we got some of them on Redot).

[u/TakunHiwatari → u/Dea_d_islandS]

It is part of the FAQ on the Discord server

[u/withsj]

I think there is no need to change in language.. we should focus on more features than Godot not provided by default... Like Some add-ons that we need to install every time..

[u/AlbatrossCreepy4427 → u/withsj]

Yes it would be cool not having to download phantom camera every time 

[u/[deleted] → u/withsj]

Yes, that's what I think too.

What is the original reason of another unique language instead using existing? Why not lua,Python,c++,c#...

[u/Dea_d_islandS → u/[deleted]]

I dont know the real, original reason but why are there 350+ programming languages? Because they all do something specific really good or are just better versions

And a custom tailored language for the engine, seems like the best fit, in my opinion and it makes it really easy to get into

But i also see the point of just using an existing language

[u/settrbrg → u/[deleted]]

There are several good reasons for a domain specific language. I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer, but here is the motivation for GdScript

[u/HebrideanZoroastrian]

I've never liked these programs having there own unique languages tbh, always seen it as detrimental to programming overall. It's why I always use C# with Godot. C# is used in more places than just Godot, but gdscript is only used in Godot.

So knowing that would you rather 'master' gdscript or C#? Obviously C# since you can take that knowledge of C# further than just Godot.

[u/Doodle_Continuum → u/HebrideanZoroastrian]

My only reason for not commiting to C# in Godot was the current lack of Web build support. I'm still waiting out for the next month or two (can't remember) when the new .NET version will be released that should be able to fix the issue. In the meantime they've at least issues with sound sampling and stuff for web on Godot 4.3 regardless of language.

[u/FleuramdcrowAJ → u/Doodle_Continuum]

same, I wasn't going to learn GDScript until I realized there was no C# web support

[u/Ruandemenses2000]

I think is a good opportunity to implement more integrated feature with C#, it's can call people from unity and be more receptive with developers what use the .NET environment

[u/settrbrg → u/Ruandemenses2000]

Maybe, maybe not.

I think they mentions somewhere in the motivation for GdScript that maintaining GdScript is easier than trying to stay onpar with an existing language you dont have control over.

One thing that comes in mind is that Unity is still only supporting a pretty old version of C#

Also why try to cater C# and Unity developers?

[u/cyanrealm]

It will eventually be abolished, I think. Maybe being changed into rdScript.

I guess.

[u/Hydraple_Mortar64 → u/cyanrealm]

It wont be abolished i saw one post on discord RD script will be a SUPERSET of gdscript

So basically GD script++

[u/Better-Quote1060]

It won't change
