GDScript
Also known as: GDScript 2.0 / Godot Script
Godot's Python-like scripting language with optional typing. Deeply integrated engine API; GDScript 2.0 added major improvements in Godot 4.
Overview
GDScript is Godot's dedicated language with Python-like syntax. Its deep engine API integration and fast iteration make it the recommended entry point for Godot development. See the GDScript vs C# language selection guide to choose wisely.
When to use C# instead
C# is preferable when performance is critical or you have existing C# assets, but GDScript has a lower learning curve. Small projects and educational use cases favor GDScript.
