A lot of performance-sensitive code involved in game development usually eschews garbage collection, as pause times can affect per-frame performance budgets non-deterministically. It's partially why Rust and modern C++ are getting a lot of attention in that space, as they provide a lot of higher-level niceties but don't require the overhead of a GC.
