Just to add a tiny nuance: C# offers pointers if you agree to be on your own, taking full responsibility for it all.

And when you do, optimizing the code gets harder (for the more interesting cases than just slipping a pointer to a native library call).

If you stay away from such endeavours, C# is not offering any pointers for the programmer to use.

With the usual AFAIK disclaimer.
