Unity 5.x only uses Mono for the editor. On non-Windows platforms they use their own AoT .Net implementation, IL2CPP.

- migueldeicaza 9y agoThe code generator is indeed different, the runtime is still Mono. Mono today has two code generators: Mono's built it one, and an LLVM one. Both generate code after Mono loads and processes the assembly. Unity developed a different front end to the runtime that does the compilation from IL to C++, the result still requires the Mono runtime to provide services at execution time. They are currently upgrading their Runtime and are making a version with all the greatest features available coming.
