gdnative provides Rust language bindings for the Godot 3 game engine, letting you write game logic, editor plugins, and other Godot applications in Rust instead of GDScript. It emphasizes safety over FFI, catching many errors at compile time or via runtime checks.

Use cases

• write godot games in rust
• rust bindings for godot 3
• replace gdscript with rust for game logic
• build godot editor plugins in rust
• native performance for large-scale godot games
• safe ffi integration with godot engine

When to choose

• you are developing or maintaining a Godot 3 project and want Rust's type system and performance
• you want compile-time safety when interfacing with the Godot engine over FFI

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project on Godot 4 - use the actively developed gdext (GDExtension) bindings instead
• you want rapid prototyping with short feedback cycles, where GDScript is a better fit
