Is C# a low-level language?

This article investigates if C# can be considered a low-level language suitable for systems programming. The author ports a compact C++ raytracer to C# line-by-line, comparing syntax, data structures (like value types/structs), and performance implications such as stack allocation and the use of the 'ref' keyword. It references expert opinions and discusses the semantic meaning of value types versus implementation details.
