The following is a commentary article about GC.

According to the article, Satori GC is still in the experimental stage, but it appears to include features required in high-performance scenarios, such as:

• A low-latency mode that disables compaction
• Disabling of Gen 0
• Major GC processes run in parallel with application threads, so except for compaction, application pauses are not required

Switching from a C# managed engine to a C++ native engine seems to be a reasonable decision at this point. However, I feel that a managed engine itself is highly challenging and valuable. In the future, I expect that improvements in GC will enable stable operation with fully managed code.
