Wouldn’t something like Unity need those APIs as well?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't keep up with unity much, but I do know they were using Mono for the longest time, which wouldn't have the same restrictions as the newer "Core" runtimes. I think their efforts to catch up were called CoreCLR, that might be a lead to how their progress is.

Edit - some research and to explicitly answer your question: maybe. The unity team has built a custom compiler and bindings to bridge the gap between their APIs and newer .NET versions. They're essentially supporting parallel build/export pipelines, while Godot is trying to keep it simple and inline with what Microsoft provides.

Thanks for that information, it was in line with what I suspected.
