Fantastic news. I'm really looking forward to Godot 4.0 exposing more of the ENet wrapper into GDScript etc. I've been writing a game server in Erlang and very much looking forward to offering ENet as an option in addition to WebSockets!

Whoa, that's interesting -- does ENet have a good integration with Erlang, or something like that? I'm interested in both Elixir/Erlang and Godot, but haven't seen an opportunity to use them together previously. I'd love to hear more details about this project of yours, and how the Godot 4.0 release impacts it.

Someone made an effort to do a full protocol port to Erlang and I have a friendly fork I’m maintaining that makes it work better with the C version as used by Godot. Seems to work with unreliable/reliable/unsequenced packets but never tested in anger, much less production!

I don’t want to derail the thread but I have a link to my GitHub in my profile - I’m working on a few things: 1. the aforementioned Erlang ENet fork 2. My generic Erlang game server called Overworld 3. A client plugin for Godot that generates a lot of the boilerplate code needed to encode/decode messages between Godot and Overworld (protobuf used for serialization) 4. An implementation of a subset of GDScript called Gdminus written in Erlang, including a simple interpreter. The idea being to have a familiar language for Godot programmers to be able to script Overworld someday- or more generally as a toy white space significant language that runs in the BEAM.

Honestly they’re all toys right now but happy to chat more via email!

We're toying around with elixir. We should share notes!

I also have a copy of libgodot written for elixir.
