I would subscribe to that, IF Unity guys bothered to settle with Xamarin and offered a modern C# compiler.

As things are, C++11 looks more appealing.

Has any of this supposed feud been documented publicly by either side? I'd imagine doing so could complicate things quite a bit.

Actually I would also like to know.

It keeps being repeated in online forums and given the current state and new direction with IL2CPP, I can only assume it is actually true.

They have plans to upgrade C# and .NET, once they complete IL2CPP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfa9ILwlsFw&list=PLX2vGYjWbI...

Straight C++ or C# put through IL2CPP to get C++, put through Emscripten to get JavaScript... What a wealth of choice between well grounded software engineering foundations, I feel bad for anyone stuck with something like Lua!

Yeah, and most probably way more expensive ($ dev hour * time) than just settle their argument with Xamarin.

I am aware of it, and it feels so wrong.

Unity started as a Mac engine and only got big when they integrated C# into their tooling. Now that they are everywhere in the indie scene, why bother paying the guys that helped them get famous?

"Thank you Xamarin and bye"

EDIT: Provide some more context.
