GDScript will not be replaced in 3.0 but they will add support for other languages, like C#.

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).

amarsahinovicon Ask HN: Starting a web project in 2015. What stack to use?

First, I don't think that Rails (and similar) will become obsolete in a few years. Personally, if it's a serious project, I would go with the stack you know the best.

Now, if you're willing to learn something new, I would recommend that you try Phoenix http://phoenixframework.org/. It similar to Rails in structure, and Elixir (built on top of Erlang VM) is also similar to Ruby (syntax-wise).

amarsahinovicon Ask HN: My 12 year old nephew wants to make a game, how do I help him?

I also recommend Game Maker, it's an excellent tool for what you need, you can make fully functional games quickly with only drag and drop, and when you learn enough you can dive into the code and do much more (if needed).
