Would be interesting if the author could comment on the memory footprint and performance of having an additional GC'ed language running alongside the engine. It seems like it could lead to complex hitching issues.

Wouldn't it be roughly like when games embed Lua?

  I think the difference would be that UE is used more in AAA games that have high performance requirements, which can be non-trival. You can see an example of troubleshooting lock hitches using a 3rd party tool to get an idea of the complexity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE04LQffZfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE04LQffZfs

    Crysis & CryEngine used LUA so I don't think the AAA argument makes sense.

      UE didn't go that route as you'll notice though, that was one of the reasons if I'm remembering correctly.
