Yeah, no idea why C# was introduced other than to appeal to people with zero game dev experience who might be lured in by thinking their knowledge of C# is going to matter.

Also, the async/threading model breaks it's chains and requires developers to know about the internal implementation. That to me is a serious WTF.

Isn't it obviously to lure unity users?

You're going to have to know that stuff for any game engine that isn't just a pure C# framework. Unity is no exception afaik, you have to use the Unity API Job system to be able to run threads safely. I use async/await in Godot C# all the time. Threading requires using the Godot API, sure, that's natural, since threading can be a mess in video games.
