yes
when will unreal switch over to c#?

No, C++ is the only reasonable answer given the current performance requirements. Unless you're making some bargain basement indie Unity shitheap.

Maybe Jai will save us.

or Rust, or D, or Go, or [Insert Language Here]

C++ is sitting pretty well for AAA games, it's not going to change anytime soon. For Indie? You can use whatever fits.

>Garbage collected languages for video games
hahaha

>>387687447
C# is way more reliable than the bloated C++.

>>387688479
Video games have hard performance requirements. A garbage collected bytecode language should be automatically disregarded.

>>387687447
Given how little devs have cared about optimization and resource management, and advances in raw computing power, C++ could well be abandoned for the simplicity and ease of use of C#.

It could be abandoned for less-demanding games but if you want great performance it just won't cut it.
