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.

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!
