Console? good, GUI? good, game dev? use Godot engine with its similar language Gdscript, but what else? Ive been seeing AI, Data Science stuff, but whats the point if ita slow?
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).
