Modern C# allows you to define a code path where GC is not allowed to run. I'm not sure if unity allows for this.

I'm also not sure about the new c# -> to native compilers coming out.

Could you link to the feature you're talking about? Unity uses a relatively ancient version of Mono IIRC, so it's unlikely that the feature is available in Unity unless your definition of "modern C#" is "after generics were added".

Modern C# means .NET 4.6

For example GC.TryStartNoGCRegion

SafeBuffers

Or using array segments

Unity has made a lot to spread C# love among game devs, but it also gave a bad reputation to those unaware how .NET really is.
