C++ should be added as scripting Language

[GitBestUser]

I have started to use godot and have struggled with nearly every type of language whether it be GD script or C sharp as I am well versed in C++ programming and hate to learn anything other. Also apart from me, many people suffer from it. The engine is made in c++ but there is no support for c++, WOW!. Please add C++ as a scripting Language. There are GD extensions but those are just too complicated to arrange.

I believe the complexity you're referring to with gdextension is necessary as it is mostly just the complexity involved with a C++ project with a build systems? How much simpler do you want it to be? I don't think it's possible to make it as simple as GDScript, since you have to AOT-compile all the gdextensions

Also, what does the engine begin written in c++ have to do with anything? C++ doesn't have a built in way to compile extra C++ code at runtime, like GDScript and C# have (since they are interpreted and JIT-compiled respectively)

Thanks for the proposal! Consolidating in #7757.
