It's for this reason that I appreciate this article, even though it has a (playful, well-intentioned) negative tone toward Godot which is a project I donate to.

This is wonderful criticism! It's thoughtful and well-researched. Hell, even I'm inspired to finally dive into Godot's internals, which I've yet to do despite following the project for several years. I hope this inspires even more contribution and constructive criticism.

It feels like a breath of fresh air to me. Yes, random people, come in and start using Godot, the more eyes are on this project the better. They're articulating gripes I have had but couldn't express. It would be great if, like JS, all the attention became an impetus to make Godot really fast.

Totally agree, that's why I submitted this article. I'm personally invested in seeing Godot become successful, but this type of constructive criticism is great for the ecosystem (even though some people get very defensive). I think it's exciting that there's so much room for improvement and shining light into Godot internals is a great way to expose what needs to be done.
