Kerbal Space Program is a lot of fun, but for me it freezes for half a second every 10 seconds... due to garbage collection. Drives me crazy.

Even on a fast PC, Kerbal Space Program audio is choppy because of GC pauses.

It's successful in spite of that, but that doesn't make it any better.

But maybe it had to do with them being able to use a higher level library, not worry about gc, and focus on other things
