Besides the obviously different API, workflow is pretty similar to Unity, and performance is identical to the native GDScript for the most part (might be even faster at heavy calculations, I haven’t tested yet).
Also GDScript is heavily inspired by Python so it’s not like u need to learn a new language if u already knew Python. That said, not using curly brace in a setting where a class can have dozens of functions, and a function can sometimes last hundreds of lines, just feels wrong to me. So I chose C# and it has been a seamless experience so far.

All this informs me is that maybe one has an initial slight edge when walking in with a totally blank experience slate.

Their own docs spages gave info on c# as well, but it does some have things you need to keep in mind which if you check reddit threads you’ll see what specifically

Of course the game is going to look better and run faster. Wack article.

Meaningless dribble.

Unity ECS / DOTS and compute shaders are far faster than traditional unity Monobehaviors
Unreal Engines ECS isn’t as performant and Godot lacks ECS
but none of the three famous game engines are the “most performant” or “the most graphically detailed”. more performant game engines than Unity ECS/ DOTS, UE5.8 and Godot exist. Bevy and Stride ( formerly Xenko ) are far more performant and capable of larger numbers of in game objects than the 3 famous engines. Unigine can produce visuals that sometimes look better than Unreal Engine 5.

I wanna try using it someday but i don’t want to be obligated to use their coding language.

It makes the experience worse by a lot, considering that be it IL2CPP or Mono, you don’t benefit from the massive performance improvements in .NET over the past 8 years.
Godot meanwhile is just adoption, I sort of want to try it out one day when I have time but I’m not really compelled to learn it.
