Yeah that's true but I disagree it's a good idea. Most AAA shops still use non-GC languages because they need the full control/cannot waste ms on random GC pass.
Game dev here. Unless you are making GTA or some high fidelity 3D game. You are wasting your time using a language like C++. You are going to spend more time dealing with memory than actually making your game which is pointless in a 2D game.
Yep. I'm always more curious about how I can get back milliseconds based on 2D rendering techniques and GPU-related concerns. I'm almost never thinking about memory consumption. It's always stunningly low, even for games doing a ton of things.
You'd almost truly have to go out of your way to consume browser-levels of memory.
