Why Godot + Go?

Whilst there are some other Open Source projects in the Go graphics space (check out Ebiten for 2D and G3N for 3D), these projects do not share the same level of contribution, functionality and support that Godot does.

Godot has an excellent visual editor, a large community and a wide range of features and functionality but there’s a difficult choice to make when it comes to deciding upon which language to use, the official options are:

• GDScript for quick Python-like iterative scripting with loose typing.
• C# which is well known in the game development space, but it’s large and not native.
• C++ which is native but you lose memory safety + it’s a behemoth of a language.

Go may be the more balanced choice here, it’s native, fully typed with a simple syntax, memory safe with fast compile times. It also has a great standard library and community ecosystem.
