They really aren’t that bad. I would argue C# is one of the gentlest structured programming languages. GD script looks very simple and nice, and are a great opening language for beginners! C# is almost the same, just a few more brackets. They are only there to pack code together that belongs together. The writing is a bit different too, but I prefer it too, because it communicates better, what is going on.
For example all functions, which are also called methods, if they are part of a class (the kind you have when you create a new script) are written in capital letters. And simple variables are lower case. And then the variables that have a class type are also Capital, so you know they have their own methods!
Every variable has its own type, like String or Integer, and you have to assign it when creating a variable. Godot script doesnt do that, which some beginners find better, but if it’s set, you cannot accidentally get it mixed up while programming! You can always see what type a variable is in C#!
