Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/1kwrzvr/i_wrote_3_prototypes_for_performance_comparison/

- I wrote several survivors-like prototypes for performance comparison: GDScript, C#, Rust

- Player and enemies are CharacterBody2D, bullets are Area2D

- Logic code is NOT optimized (such as frame skipping, object pooling, multithreading, etc.)

- Auto-shoot uses brute force to search for the nearest enemy

- There are some basic particles and animations

- godot --version

  - 4.4.1.stable.mono.official.49a5bc7b6

- dotnet --version

  - 9.0.300

- rustc --version

  - rustc 1.87.0 (17067e9ac 2025-05-09)

- Hardware information

  - Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 @ 3.20GHz

  - RAM DDR4 32.0GB

  - AMD Radeon RX590 GME

- All run in Release mode

- Number of enemies when performance drops (FPS below 50)

  - GDScript: ~250

  - C#: ~250

  - Rust: ~250

- Personal conclusion (very subjective)

  - If most of the game code is calling the Godot API, there is very little performance difference between them, whether it's GDScript, C#, or Rust

  - godot-rust/gdext is currently very cumbersome to use. If you are an independent developer and want to make a complete game and put it on Steam within a reasonable time limit, then I don’t recommend using Rust

  - Mixing multiple languages ​​in a project will increase complexity, and I don’t think it’s a good idea

  - As a programmer with many years of backend development background, I have a strong preference for strongly typed languages, so I will consider using C# in my next game

  - C# has a very obvious disadvantage: it cannot currently be exported to the Web, so if you want to participate in game jams, then GDScript is the best choice
