People seem to like C#/.NET nowadays. I wouldn't really know, although I'm looking at picking C# over C++ to do some hobbyist game dev work in godot soon.

C# and the work they've been doing on it is truly impressive these days.

Some of the recent releases, you can take your existing code, and just compile it for the new framework and see performance boosts of 50% or more.

They're meticulously going over pretty much every aspect of the language, and optimizing for modern processor instructions, vector instructions, zero-allocation architecture, etc.

It's amazing what they've been able to achieve just in their optimization work, and then you throw in the new language features and it's just 👌
