Could you elaborate on Python dialect? Unreal already supports full Python for some stuff. They do also have a language called Verse in the works but I don’t believe that it has any relationship to Python

Last I checked, python support is editor-only. I believe Verse is made by a small team who previously worked on a game-specific scripting language called Skookum script. I used it maybe a decade ago so my memory is hazy but I think you are correct, it didn't necessarily have much relation to Python. I remember it having some unique game-specific async constructs. I'm certainly looking forward to trying it out!

  Simon Peyton Jones is working on Verse. https://discourse.haskell.org/t/an-epic-future-for-spj/3573 https://discourse.haskell.org/t/an-epic-future-for-spj/3573

    Oh wow I had no idea he had joined Epic. I'm looking forward to seeing what Verse ends up becoming.
