> I want the speed of C but the safety of C#

Rust or D seem like the best bet here

Why c# and not rust or something similar that has a lower level focus?

Because some of us believe in GC enabled systems programming languages, as done already at Xerox PARC (Cedar), DEC (Modula-2+/Modula-3), ETHZ (Oberon, Active Oberon, Component Pascal) and MSR (Sing# / System C#).

What is missing is a company like Microsoft to push it down to mainstream developers, at all costs, like it happen to all luddites.

> I want the speed of C but the safety of C#

Try OCaml.

Use a tractor.
