> I’m very curious about videogames development. In particular, I get the impression that aversion to GC in videogames comes down largely to experiences with Java back when pauses could be 300ms. I’m very curious if Go’s sub-millisecond GC (and its ability to minimize allocations, etc) would be amenable to videogame development. Thoughts?
Well, Minecraft is written in Java, and it runs fine from what I’ve heard. In .NET land, there was a short lived toolkit for C# called XNA - Terraria is (was?) written in it. Both Java and C# are garbage collected.
I haven’t looked at Unity too deeply, but isn’t Unity (and the games made in it) built in C#?
