I used to hate the language but statically typed GDscript feels like the perfect weight for indie development

It is indeed great for creating a prototype. After that, one can gradually migrate to Rust go benefit from faster execution times. The Rust bindings are in a pretty decent shape by now

Nowadays we have the luxury of LLMs to help migrate projects/code from one language to another. I would imagine a pipeline with Rust as an intermediate “compiled” step might be possible. LLM accuracy isn’t there yet, but I can dream.
It is not that complicated or time-consuming to do the transformation manually. On the contrary, it's even fun and a good practice (but admittedly, I do have a rather conservative view on the matter)
Yeah I haven't really used it much but from what I've seen it's kind of what Python should have been. Looks way better than Lua too.
I like it better than python now, but it's still got some quirks. The lack of structs and typed callables are the biggest holes right now imo but you can work around those
