looks like an interpreted C#

@icedquinn They probably chose a C#-like syntax because that's what all the indie devs are using.
@xianc78 kind of weird how Delphi lineage ended up here. dude who did all the design work for delphi API was hired by M$ to clone Java so he made C#, then some mac devs used mono to script their game, and that's how C# became the video game industry language 
@icedquinn I'm no expert on this but I think .NET/Mono's garbage collection seems to be the most optimized for games, unlike Java, Go, etc which are more optimized for server software.
@xianc78 not really. what a video game wants is an incremental GC that can do partial collection while waiting between event ticks.
you typically don't get one of those. Nim has one though.

@xianc78 Abuse had its own custom Lisp and they didn't even really have a GC, it just arena allocated and wiped the entire heap each frame 
these games are just running the same general purpose GCs most stuff does which is why they're prone to random sputtering.

@xianc78 i still kinda like the visual editor that gdevelop has (and the whole concept there from multimedia fusion etc) and designers do too, but eh.
