https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/02/26/on-dots-c-c/ has a high-level overview for why not C++. Moreover, Unity has invested heavily in the c#/.net/mono ecosystem; the editor runs on mono, and the runtimes are all either IL2CPP (an in-house translation from .NET bytecode to C++) or mono as well. It would be a truly crazy amount of work to switch, for little or no clear benefit. If one were picking a language today to write an engine in, Rust might be a reasonable competitor, but it's also fairly new and is arguably less noob-friendly. C# offers a nice ramp from new programmer to performance-critical AAA with burst. |
