GDScript is a bad idea as a teaching language because it's so niche, practically a DSL. You really want people's first language to have broad applicability. Yes, Python has deployment problems, but so does Godot.
JS was a DSL. (Everything you meant to communicate by this comment was already accounted for when I posted mine—hence the parenthetical disclaimer about the idea being laughable.)
I was also fingering GDScript specifically as a _starting_ point for the sort of thing described in the quoted/deleted comment: a concentrated effort to produce a RAD-ish environment meant to dethrone Python from the seat it unreasonably occupies today.
