C# is an odd one. It's surprisingly flexible, but then oddly lacking in other areas. Quite productive, but also quite inconsistent and uncomposable.
Once you've tried a better type system (Rust), it's difficult to go back to C#. People jump through all kinds of hoops to get good performance out of it, and they're mostly able to.
Things I dearly miss from Rust when I'm using C#:
- Associated types in interfaces. (IEnumerable should not be forced to return a type-erased = heap allocated IEnumerator instance.)
- Move-only structs. (Currently, every type with value semantics is trivially copyable, even ref structs.)
