You mean, C# doesn't provide access to the lower level constructs? IMO D is at the same level even if it does provide inline assembler. The simple fact is, you don't *have* to use low level features of D, you can stick to the C#-level constructs. Hell, you can even write full useful programs in D without ever touching a pointer or inline assembler.
D is both higher and lower level than C#. Lower level because of: 1. direct C interface 2. inline assembler 3. pointers Higher level: 1. metaprogramming 2. support for purity, const, immutable, shared 3. CTFE
