[SOLVED] Why doesn't Unity support .NET 4.0?

Just curious.

 

Because they require a commercial license of Mono for certain platforms that don't allow dynamic linking and they only have a license for an outdated version.

The future looks like that:

Very interesting although I noticed the article was from May 2014. It's almost been 1 year. I hope we hear more about it soon.

 

il2cpp is already in Unity 4.6.x for iOS. In Unity 5, it will be used for WebGL and after that it will be brought step by step to other platforms. And as written in the article, after that, a .net update can take place.

 

I wonder when it'll come to Android.

 

And I'm just sitting here wishing that IL2CPP will be out on AOT platforms so i can use a newer version of mono on standalone builds

 

I hope that brings Garbage Collector improvements :\

 

it does, that's why I'm patiently waiting.....
