C# is great, IMHO. It's one of the main reasons that Unity did so well and continues to be so popular with indie devs even after all their mis-steps, and despite Unreal Engine offering better tech/tools in other important areas. It completely transformed game development. No debugging of memory leaks/corruption. Far less waiting for compiling/linking (and no header files!). Generics/Collections vs templates/STL. It's just vastly more productive, enabling tiny teams to do things that would have been impossible if everything had to be done in C/C++. (And if the alternative is not being able to make the game at all, then any performance down-sides are much less of a big deal)
