Thanks, I haven't had to do dropping to C for a while as the improvement in performance of dotnet along with features like AOT, Span<t> etc close the gap enough for the domain I work in. Good to know you can remain within the framework and get decent performance though with the unsafe pointers/refs. Would be interesting to see a good benchmark using only C# with latest features and Rust, although I cognisant of the fact there is more to it than pure performance (binary size, dependencies, GC etc).
