Hi !

I really want to dive in the programmation in Godot as an Android Developer and after creating few smalls projects in GdScript, i'm wondering if coding in C# is better especially because you can have a professional IDE like Visual Studio.

In the godot editor, I didn't find a way to reformat my code... I dont find the autocompletion to be good and you don't hava as many plugins as Visual Studio as...

So I wanted your opinion and feedback about Gdscript + godot editor vs C# + professional IDE like Visual Studio 🙂

Thanks in advance;

Have a good day.

I switched to c# and haven't looked back. I wouldn't say the IDE benefits are worth it by itself, but between that and the power of statically typed, highly optimized language it really is so much nicer to work with.

And to keep things balanced, I've always used gdscript, and I've never really felt any need to switch to C#. I believe there still isn't full web support when using C#, which just isn't something I can live with. Other than that, it's a matter of preference.

I use both actually, Coming from a pascal background learning C# was easy for me but I still find GdScript useful. at times

If you use C# you can't release to web, if that's something you care about

#

And if I remember correctly, C# will make your final build larger when you compile your game

C# is also used by a few other engines and frameworks, has a wider range of packages, and stackoverflow topics

#

do you already know c#? if not, prob just stay with gdscript

#

c# in godot has limitations like no web support
