That's exactly why Unity went to shit and he left as a result, 
they picked the wrong language, so they wasted many years working 
on working around the language

That's what happen when you work with GC/OOP people, nothing good 
comes out of it, you get replaced by what ever is new and trendy

And then the people will exclude the people who care (Mike Acton) 
to empower the developprs who need assistance (GC/OOP) because 
these people can promote idiocracy, as opposed to meritocracy 
backed by tangible resulsts (how fast code run, and how efficient 
it is)
