Using GDNative, it's possible to easily extend Godot in C/C++ without recompiling the engine, and that for any platform. So as not to impose the additional dependency on the Mono SDK to users of other scripting languages such as GDScript or VisualScript, the C# support comes in a separate build of Godot (labeled the "mono" build).

This implementation handles spatial indexing of objects and, every frame, building a render list of objects drawn. Truth is, the main advantage of using them is the ability to build render command lists using multiple CPU cores. It also handles the pairing of objects (lights to geometry, GI to geometry and lights, etc.).
