During the past days, this great article by Sam Pruden has been making the rounds around the gamedev community. While the article provides an in-depth analysis, its a bit easy to miss the point and exert the wrong conclusions from it. As such, and in many cases, users unfamiliar with Godot internals have used it points such as following:

Godot C# support is inefficient
Godot API and binding system is designed around GDScript
Godot is not production ready

In this brief article, I will shed a bit more light about how the Godot binding system works and some detail on the Godot

	var points = _points.duplicate()
	if extrapolate_end_points:
	points.insert(0, points[0] - (points[1] - points[0]))
	points.append(points[-1] + (points[-1] - points[-2]))

	var smooth_points := PackedVector2Array()
	if points.size() < 4:

	This document represents the beginning of an upgrade or migration document for GDScript 2.0 and Godot 4.0. I'm focusing on 2D
	at the moment as I'm upgrading a 2D game, but will hopefully have more to add for 3D afterward.
