>It’s a 99% clone on Python It really isn't. It shares a similar syntax and significant whitespace, but Python people are going to read that and expect idioms like list comprehensions to work and be sadly disappointed. To each their own. I wouldn't call GDScript nice, I don't think anyone would use it as a general purpose programming language. It isn't as painful as Dark Basic or GML, but it's only value to me is its integration with the engine.
