GDExtension for the Godot 4.x engine, enabling full-fledged scripting in C++ directly in the Godot editor, along with hot reload.
Project lead by dedicated and very talented Hamid Memar
https://github.com/TheAenema

It’s one of several ideas Hamid is working on, bringing all his products and activities together under the Jenova brand.

• Jenova is independent, fully featured C++ scripting backend implemented with features that has GDScript.
• Jenova uses godot-cpp GDExtension but only to communicate with Godot engine.
• Jenova had multiple features which godot-cpp does not have
• Jenova is arround ~9000 lines of code, was created in 6 months from scratch
• Jenova supports hot reload in Godot

Why should I use it

You can create code that is difficult to decompile, fast, harnessing the power of C++ and special tricks in Jenova scripts.

Combine performance with the convenience of the Godot environment!
