And simply not using GC in tight loops. While not the greatest
fan of Unity, it proved that GC (on top of of VM) is not a

Unity the engine is written in C++. When you create a game
using Unity you are merely scripting the C++ engine using C#,
no different than the countless games that do the same using
Lua.
This will most likely change when they get their IL2CPP
production ready and start moving code from C++ to C#.
Or when Microsoft finishes the ongoing work on .NET Native.
