Mandelbrot-benchmark gdscript - C# - gdnative C++ and now new godot-rust (gdnative rust)

systemerror

i started a testprogram between gdscript, C# and gdnative C++, maybe interesting for someone and to learn gdnative?

This is a changed version of the Godot gdnative C++-example. I changed to get a little benchmark-test to see the difference in speed between gdscript and C++ and to learn gdnative C++. the test is to draw a mandelbrot - the goal was not to get a good mandelbrotprogram, the goal was to have a comparison in speed. left is the mandelbrot from the gdscript, middle C# and right the one from gdnative C++. the result is shown in milliseconds with print. gdnative C++ is in my tests ~ 20-25 times faster(in debug) and ~40-45 (in release) as gdscript. C# a little slower than C++. maybe in other tasks except mandelbrot it differs. if theres something wrong please tell me...

testscenario: Godot 3.4 Window 10 Visual Studio 2019 scons

Nice. Probably be much faster in a shader, though.

thank you for the "Nice".

...Probably be much faster in a shader... a mandelbrot in a godot shader already seems existing (google) but i wrote: ...the goal was not to get a good mandelbrotprogram, the goal was to have a comparison in speed... the speed of the languages not the graphiccard.

i added a test for godot-rust (gdnative rust) in a new repository. comparable speed as c# and c++ - but in my personal opinion godot-rust is the winner (not only from speed but from feeling) ;-)
