Also real talk, I do think GDscript is a significant win for Godot and if you're coming into it, even if you are used to and like C#, you should give gdscript a shot. The language is somewhat lightweight, like the engine itself, but being specifically designed for game development is a win.

I think people who remember unityscript might be kind of imagining that it's a similar thing (ie, just bad javascript), but gdscript really is its own thing and it's thoughtfully built for the purpose that it fulfills.

I also don't love the python-style syntax but I can deal with it because the semantics are generally much closer to a good dynamic language like Lua or Ruby. Godot even provides an LSP implementation as part of the engine itself!
