One good example how GC based languages do not hinder game development

Yeah, but it's for tools, not the game itself. I don't think anyone ever
said c# wasn't good for tools.
Sure, I agree with you.
But this is a recursive trend. Back when Assembly was king, BASIC, C and
Pascal were used for tooling, with Assembly having the king's role.
Then the same cycle repeated itself when C was the king and C++ was
slowly being used for tooling.
So now GC enabled languages are starting to replace C++/MFC/Qt in the
tooling area.
Eventually a new replacement cycle will happen, even if we are still
away from it.
