C# as a system language

When you think about C#, you'll usually think about a high-level language, one that is utilized to build websites, APIs, and desktop applications. However, from its inception, C# had the foundation to be used as a system language, with facilities that allow direct memory access and fine-grained control over memory and execution. In the last five years, there has been a huge emphasis on making C# a more capable language for system development. Oren Eini, the founder of RavenDB, has used C# as the base language to build a distributed document database for over a decade. In this talk, Oren will discuss the features that make C# a viable system language for building high-end systems. How you can mix and match, in a single project, both high-level concepts and intimate control over every single thing that is happening in your system.
