  • Implement namespaces for scripting languages

    unfold_more unfold_less

    One of the main complaints of the GDScript language is the lack of namespaces. A namespace is a way to group code by a common name. This permits the reuse of classes using the same name, as long as they can be differentiated by their namespace.

    But the problem can be found with .NET and GDExtension too. The problem occurs at the registration phase of classes in our internal database.

    With namespaces, plugin developers could use their own class names without worrying about clashing with users’ internal ones.

  • Polish and ensure that class_name is robust and works in all cases

    unfold_more -unfold_less

    class_name is an handy feature. It permits the user to name their classes and refer to it directly instead of having to preload the class using its path.

    Unfortunately, using class_name comes with a few caveats. We do hope to fix these issues in order to give users a better experience with this feature.

  • Attain full coverage of static type hints

    unfold_more +unfold_less

    Static type hints are a well loved feature in GDScript, as not only does it improve performance, but it lowers the amount of possible typing issues.

    We intend to implement static typing for areas that currently lack them. We are thinking about typed dictionaries (already merged for 4.4) and enforcing the typing of signals.

    Pull requests

  • Improve performance via compilation

    unfold_more unfold_less

    While GDScript is fast enough to operate as glue between nodes and program basic logic, its performance is lackluster when it comes to pure data crunching. We would like to improve the processing capabilities of the language and its run-time.

    Note

    We’re currently investigating whether to compile GDScript, or to use AOT (ahead-of-time) or JIT (just-in-time) compilation techniques.

  • Add traits to GDScript

    unfold_more unfold_less

    The main way to reuse code when writing code in GDScript is to use inheritance. While it works well for the most part, it leaves developers to rewrite a lot of code when that method cannot be used. So traits is the path we’re going forward to solve that issue.
