[Future Support Request] VB.Net

SpiceyWolf

Hi, I have been investigating Godot a bit this past week and I think it looks beautiful and has a bright future ahead of it. I noticed that 3.0b was getting C# support, and I didnt think itd be too much of a stretch there if the community could try to eventually add VB.Net support to the engine as well. I know its quite a busy request topic in Unity and as Godot doesnt quite seem ready to compete on that level, I think all the people who wanted VB in Unity would easily flock here and get Godot a much better 'leg in the race'.

I personally really like Unity but they refuse to support it and thats not the end of the world personally, as I am comfortable using many different languages but I have an MMORPG engine base which currently supports some API I dont think is user friendly and it was built in VB.net as a solid base for newbie game devs to make some still powerful games -- though the graphics api im using isnt very helpful to make them grow as coders. Using another engine like Unity (Or hopefully Godot) as a client backend to power everything would really eliminate a lot of the code complexity over what I currently have.

So with this post I just wanted to ask if VB.net is currently planned as a future addition or at the very least would be concidered for it. I think it would be a great addition to Godots already powerful arsenal of tools and lang support :D

There's nothing in Godot's development approach that would prevent the implementation of VB.net, but it will require you to find a developer who will implement it and maintain it (as it won't be the job of the core team).

For instance, we have developers who took on the responsibility to implement C#, GD-native, and even Python (but GDscript is the only language that is guaranteed to see continuous development).
