Nah, I'm not going back to C# and don't plan to stay up to date with it. If you're talking about ref structs, Spans etc, I'm perfectly aware and have used those features in anger (in more ways than one).

It clearly suits some people but it isn't for me.

Fine, however better focus on good game design and not what language to use, see Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Celeste, Bastion,....

Anyone that disregards languages used by them, should also have better sales numbers to go along.

Those are all games where the average frame time is so low GC pauses are basically irrelevant.

And Minecraft was re-written in C++ for a reason.

Minecraft Bedrock exists for game consoles and mobile phones, where Microsoft naturally wouldn't write an AOT compiler just for it.

Minecraft Java, not only keeps being sold, it is where new features are tested, before the Bedrock team implements similar capabilities.

Any online shop where we can appreciate the fruits of how a better language choice translates into improved game design and increased sales?
