So, what does this mean for Unity3D? I'm tired of being limited to .Net(-sorta-ish) 3.5 and a stuttering garbage collector.

"For Unity developers, this means making sure the latest .NET APIs, tools, and language features are available to you."

– Support for C# 6

– Upgrade Mono Runtime and Class Libraries

etc...

I wonder when all that's actually going to drop. Like, when I can set VS's target framework to .NET 4.6.1, I'll be pleased.

Unity has moved to IL2CPP so not sure a hell of a lot.

"Moved" might be too strong a word. I know it's used to deploy on 64-bit iOS, any other platforms at the moment?

Yes, Android, with the use of the NDK.

So, two mobile platforms, no console, no desktop. IL2CPP seems to be a long way from saving us from decrepit .NET versions.
