From GDScript To Faster Foliage
On October 2, 2026, a Godot developer introduced GD++, a domain-specific language intended to reduce boilerplate when writing Godot C++ extensions. The developer also demonstrated an AI-assisted rewrite of a procedural foliage add-on from GDScript to GD++, reporting that it compiled and worked without functional changes and generated foliage approximately 5–10 times faster.
