Their custom scripting language is the main reason for not choosing Godot. I didn't know they were replacing it in v3.
Any idea what are they going to use?

However, compared to parent:

They're also adding their version of visual scripting...
Personally, I find GDScript quite OK since you can treat it just like Python, and I think there are some interfaces that enable you to use real Python in Godot (check out their blog).
I tried to find this out, but the one "benchmark" I found was somewhat dubious. The Godot documentation claims that GDScript has all sorts of advantages over using other scripting languages that sound qualitatively superior, but it lacks quantitative comparisons.
The advantage of GDScript is that all its primitives are the same as the C++ primitives that lie underneath. It's memory management model is the same as the engine's, etc... A GDScript function is a C++ function. GDScript is completely integrated into the engine, so if you're doing typical game-dev sort of things, there's literally no overhead.
