Defold is also a completely FREE industry proven 2D game engine, developed by King and source available, for anyone who's interested..
Yes that King, the ones who made Candy Crush. They made a game engine source available (open source with the exception that you can't create a competing game engine from it) with full 2D capabilities, tile map support, spine support, shaders, particle systems, UI editor, scene editor, Box 2D and Bullet for physics, hot-reloading, profiling & debugging tools, etc. It also has basic 3D support, although I wouldn't recommend it for anyone making a primarily 3D game. It's written in C++ and uses Lua as the scripting language, and it's easy enough to write native extensions for any platform's language of choice.

ValueObject
looks very neat, but it doesn't really get more OO than JavaFX, does it ? would you call this code functional & idiomatic in any relevant sense of the term? https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/dev/editor/src/clj/edi...

C# games in Godot, 2022 edition
Maybe that's typical in gaming situations, but it has a weird license: https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/1.3.4/LICENSE.txt ("the Defold License version 1.0")

Lua, Nim, and Wren for game development
If you paint by some numbers, the Defold repo (https://github.com/defold/defold) has 1k issues, and only 14 prs open, whereas the Godot repo (https://github.com/godotengine/godot) has 5k+ issues and a whopping 1.1k prs open. And a difference of 1500 contributors on Godot, versus 37 total contributors on Defold.

Apple write a native-function plugin for Unity and released it in their WWDC without any RealityKit update. It means ... ? Oh, on my nightmare last night, I am learning C#.
Though there are some promising developments in the Godot space, anyway, with the Godot-Swift project (though it hasn’t been updated in a while): https://github.com/kelvin13/godot-swift.

Swift for Godot is here!
Godot Swift provides bindings and a Swift Package Manager-powered build system for creating Godot native libraries from Swift frameworks. Godot Swift exposes GDScript APIs in terms of Swift protocols and generics, allowing for seamless Swift-to-Godot interoperability.
