My limited understanding is that high end Unity devs code their stuff not to make garbage. Unity has a very nice system for profiling that sort of thing.
Also, CLR has F#, which I like much better than Scala (and, no type erasure in CLR), Clojure which is ... just like Clojure on JVM, and C#, which as a Java dev since 1.1 I have come to prefer as a language even as I remain JVM ecosystem preferring on the server side. JVM has ABCL, a neat Common Lisp, and now Graal/Truffle which is super interesting. If not for Clojure though (and maybe Kotlin) I would probably give up on the JVM. Oracle does not help. Just my opinion.
- spricket 8y agoTotally agree. C# and kin are far better designed. It's the lively Java ecosystem that keeps me around as well
- DaiPlusPlus 8y agoLess “lively Java ecosystem” - more “slow-moving Enterprise Java environments”.
- int_19h 8y agoIs Clojure on CLR actively maintained?
- weavejester 8y agoYes, it's one of the officially supported platforms (albeit the least used one).
- _bxg1 8y agoI did just remember that C# has value-type data structures (which last I checked, Java didn't) which probably helps a lot. Most objects can probably be kept on the stack, and objects on the stack don't need to be garbage collected.
