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.

It does lack features I wish it had; I wish it had generics and a more sophisticated type system, I wish you could get the benefits of compile time type checking without having to write so many type annotations, etc. But incremental typing *is* a win for the type of programming we do!

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!
