While it's used for game development, I'm not convinced that it automatically means features should cater specifically to that audience. Compared to everything non-performance critical the language is used for, the performance crowd is dwarfed. I'm not against it, I personally have been in situations where it would have been useful, I'm just not convinced it's beneficial for the language to implement it.
- zamalek 10y agoI watched the NIAC talks yesterday and a quote (paraphrased) that I found interesting was: > Computation is innovated thanks to gamers. The same effect might benefit programming languages.
- hvidgaard 10y agoI think that is true. Where they seek to get that last bit of performance, they get creative and come up with new and better ways to do things. But I don't think C# is the language to do this, it lacks too many low level constructs.
