If you would've converted your code to C# (which would be a scary undertaking, i wouldn't recommend it) your fps would most likely have gone up (still not as fast as c++ obviously).

I think the main way this is happening right now - is Lua. It's widely used in many projects. A low level engine is written in C++ and then the logic is handled in the scripting language itself. That said I do love C# because it's so tightly bound to Visual studio. It's extremely easy and fun to program in.

There's also reference implementations available from Microsoft and even some efforts to build a micro one that works on the PSP: http://scientificninja.com/development/csharp-on-the-psp Please do note a previous discussion on this article at: http://cowboyprogramming.com/2007/01/05/blob-physics/

now if only c# was properly cross-platform..
