      You go ahead and write an OS kernel in C# then.

          Why would you bring up C# in a thread about kernel programming?

            Talking about how unsafe is not some new fancy rust feature and exists in other languages. Your comment makes it sound like the choice is some new wild computing concept.

              Bruh do you actually not get it. The point of rust is that its memory safe(with a huge grain of salt in the case of low level programming) and is a language you can write kernels in. Youre not gonna write a kernel in C# so it doesnt really matter for a discussion about kernels.

                I think you are lost, nobody is saying use C# for an OS kernel.

        Here, someone already wrote a bare bones one. Of course that also uses an unsafe block lol
