I'm also using the dynamic code-loading to get free JIT in other projects and quite a few features of .NET relies on that, there are limitations (and for something as dynamic as an emulator I'm not at all surprised that they hit a brick wall at some point). Another benefit of C# is that they continually add features to make the language less susceptible to GC stalls. Compared to Java you have Value types, real generics, ref and out arguments, Span<T> types, stackalloc allocations, unsafe blocks and so on. You can get quite far without allocating anything on the heap and the ergonomics won't be that much worse than even C++ when doing so.
