Looking forward to when Unity will migrate to CoreCLR. Soon!

That soon is like a decade in the making.

And with many folks going into alternatives like Godot, it means C# ends up losing the mindshare it got.

Yes, you can use C# with Godot, but most folks end up with GDScript, or GDextension.

Iirc Godot is taking the approach from both sides however and also working on a libgodot which will allow a "bring your own runtime" which I'm much more interested in than the integrated "environments" that are Unity and Godot today. I'm likely in the minority though as they only started making a library export after the all in one environment was stable enough...

Godot is nowhere near to something like C# HPC, Jobs and Burst. And I’m afraid even GDExtension can’t help with that. At least not with Godot’s scene structure which prioritises simplicity over performance.

I agree, however most indies don't need them, and most pros are getting into Unreal instead.

Also something like Burst is a workaround for using Mono with C#, which gets solved in Godot with C++.

How's the whole DOTS adoption going?

>gets solved in Godot with C++

if only by rewriting half of the Godot codebase. With design choices they made, Godot will never be performant enough for RTS/Crown simulation games.

I'm quite impressed to what people build on top of it: https://github.com/Dreaming381/Latios-Framework https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/mesh-a... and many more
