C# has metaprogramming through generics, the Roslyn compiler API and source generators. C# supports limited manual memory management through unsafe and manual memory allocation methods, but this is primarily aimed at C/C++ interop. Newer performance oriented features like stackalloc and Span/Memory give most of the benefits of manual memory management without the dangers. Performance of .NET on Linux is on average better than Java and Go. Mono has an AOT implementation and Microsoft are expected to release one soon. C# normal coding style may not be to your preference, but it's become a lot less "enterprisey" in recent years. XML is nowhere to be seen any more, for example. But yes indeed it's not a very good language if you're wanting to directly manipulate registersand hardware addresses.
