-GDScript aims to be concise and easy to learn. Optional static typing conflicts with this vision
|
|
|
-by making documentation more congested. To improve its accessibility for new users, please use
|
|
|
-dynamic GDScript code samples where possible. The one exception is topics that explain
|
|
|
-static typing concepts to users.
|
|
|
+The code examples in the documentation should follow a consistent style not to
|
|
|
+confuse users. As static type hints are an optional feature of GDScript, we
|
|
|
+chose to stick to writing dynamic code. This leads to writing GDScript that is
|
|
|
+concise and accessible.
