"Similar to Godot’s language. It’s terribly inefficient"

Don't know what you mean, but Godot app is only around 3mb, and it's not as bloated as Python, though it has some high level layers or somthing too, and not as direct as C++.

    They mean scripting, GDscript is also interpreted (and probably also not often parallelized) so it's also not blazing fast (though I guess typing helps).

    Though Godot has many options for languages (including bindings), so compiled is an option (you don't have to go all in on one language either, so something like a generator or multiplayer code etc needing more performance can use a more capable language).
