I don't know if I can get behind it. Your computer can no longer use booleans after you install it.

its a shit, unoptimized engine

Its okay. Better than it used to be but there is stronger competition if you want to be more serious about doing dev work
If youre learning, its not too bad.

How difficult is GML to learn if you have zero programming experience?

>>716057395
pretty easy, we ran a few courses with it in a highschool I worked at a few years ago, and the kids there managed fine going in basically blind

its layout is retarded and struggles as a project gets bigger, if you're making anything serious please for the love of god use any other engine.

Godot is just outright better if you want to use something with its own dumbed down language.

>>716057395
Its got C-like syntax but is very lax about things that C would throw a fit about, such as not declaring variable types or semicolons at the end of lines.
The fundamentals of programming work as you'd expect but getting fancier requires you to put a little effort into learning how GM handles stuff like inheritance.
Its not a terrible language to learn when you're starting out but you would sort of need to be wary of overspecializing if youre the kind of person who expects it to be the only way to code, rather than as a specific language you are learning the fundamentals in.
