It’s a bit of a kitchen sink language now. I haven’t used it professionally in quite a while but using it for Godot (anything but gdscript) has me scratching my head over some of the architectural decisions. It seems to be led by „if people do a certain form often enough, add a shorthand to the language“, which is one way of cutting boilerplate, but does lead to something very hard-to-parse if you’re not familiar with it.

    Heey Godot for the win! And yeah no gdscript please! C# is like a script language wanting to be a C++ contender (let’s switch everything around to show how different we are, sigh). They do have one thing right though, true & false aren’t True or TRUE etc. But man all the new() whatever all the time 😓. public int A {get; private set;} = 0; Beautiful eh 😐
