Choosing a programming language for my game

mikhail-starovich

I am new to Godot, I study only in programming. Now I'm learning python to get a basic understanding of GDScript, which I don’t currently understand. I tried visual script, and I understood the approximate algorithm. And Native Script for those who write in C ++, C #, NIM, D, C, Python.

Thank you all in advance for your answers B)

I would go with GDScript. It is simple, logical, and has good API documentation.

Along with what @mr_moon said, if you happen to code something that's performance heavy, using C# or NativeScript could be beneficial in those particular cases.

@SIsilicon28 I'll try to delve into gdscript. if there is a problem, I will write a new question here!

I'm a big C# fan, I open the project with visual studio and you can get all the auto complete, syntax highlight, code travel to see quickly what functions are available to you and also the performance is better.

@mathias It is commendable that in C # you feel like in your boat. but i threw unity3d because of c #

Use which ever one is easiest for you, unless you really need performance, then use c#.

@Dschoonmaker perhaps

This discussion makes me wonder why some languages are faster or more efficient that others. Doesn't everything regardless of language get converted to machine code anyways?

SIsilicon28

On contrary @mr_moon, GDScript and VisualScript are both scripting languages. They are not converted to machine code, but are interpreted by the language running it (Godot is written in C++), which adds a level of abstraction, and thus lower performance.

I downloaded the most recent stable version for c# and it has a warning box that comes up saying it shouldn't be used for production coding. It also opened up a lot of windows for some reason. I don't think it's stable enough yet, but it's getting close. I ended up going back to gdscript, which is very stable. It's faster than gdscript, but you probably won't notice it unless you have high computational algorithms. Python like languages are also a little easier to learn for most people as their first language.

With each of you, I agree in something
