instead they made (or funded? not exactly sure) il2cpp which is a batshit compiler that compiles IL to C++ for better performance, I guess.

sidenote, I wonder how many other low-level to high-level compilers exist out there. can't be many.

AFAIK, the original reason to build IL2CPP was to appease console certification and leave behind Mono's quirky AOT on iOS. Capcom is also using their own C# implementation targeting C++ for console certification.

Allegedly some games are now managing to ship on console with ports of .NET NativeAOT.
