Even so, the C# language itself can't really handle many 
native/systems-level tasks. For example, while I've heard that it's 
technically possible to reinterpret-cast a piece of memory, actually doing 
it involves some dark obscure corner of the API.

At least it actually has pointers though, unline a certain other flagship VM 
language...

Many people would argue that systems-langauge doesn't necessarily mean "OS 
written in it". Not that I intend to nit-pick the point: Just FWIW.
