C# is one of the most popular game languages and I wouldn't say it's particularly fit for it.

Not that it's bad, it just doesn't have any game or simulation specific features, manual memory management, etc.

C# is uniquely good at being a GC language that can easily interop with C/C++ code whilst also being quite performant itself. This is why it’s used for so many game engines.
