* Lua table syntax uses named indexing: `{ mykey = myvalue }`
* Python style syntax uses string indexing: `{ "mykey" : myvalue }`
* Both are incompatible since a StringName key wont fetch a String key, hence confusing.
* This PR proposes always using String for indexing at a very minimal performance cost. Always indexing with StringNames will be faster, but they are considerably more expensive to create.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
