While it's used for game development, I'm not convinced that it automatically means features should cater specifically to that audience. Compared to everything non-performance critical the language is used for, the performance crowd is dwarfed. I'm not against it, I personally have been in situations where it would have been useful, I'm just not convinced it's beneficial for the language to implement it.
I think that is true. Where they seek to get that last bit of performance, they get creative and come up with new and better ways to do things. But I don't think C# is the language to do this, it lacks too many low level constructs.
