Use "Go" for programming Unity scripts?

I know you can use C# but is there anyway to make it so i can code using Go?

 

There's a GCC port of the backend, but it's shifted towards their own implementation of the compiler. It would be a massive undertaking to make it available, I bet. An implementation that creates compatible bytecode is theoretically possible if you have a team of developers at hand to work on it for the next year

I'm happy using Go for server-side stuff personally.

 

Or you could write a translator that converts Go to C# prior to compiling.

 

Then it looses the point. The only sensible reason to use Go instead of C# (besides language preference, which is not worth the trouble) is avoiding memory leaks and have better GC, beside other advantages, which one would not have by translating Go back to C# prior to compiling.

 

For advantages involving bypassing the .NET/Mono framework, you would need a source license to implement it.

 

A bunch of the .NET/Mono issues are language independent. For instance, changing the language on top of .NET/Mono wouldn't fundamentally improve the GC. If it's going to run in .NET then it's going to end up as .NET bytecode and follow all of the rules that come along with that.

 

the GC issues with C# are part of the .net mono implementation used in unity not the langauge or compiler its self. So go on the .net run time would suffer the same issues

 

Or you could use C#.
