The unfortunate thing is .NET deserves to have a proper database written in pure C# because the language offers all the tools to achieve a really performant, safe and cross-platform implementation. But RavenDB does not do it justice and uses unsafe in catastrophic amounts in places where it is not necessary or in ways which are straight up UB despite the fact that JIT/ILC is much more strict than GCC/LLVM. There have been multiple bug reports submitted to dotnet/runtime by RavenDB which required extensive debugging effort only to end up being an issue on RavenDBs end due to explicit misuse of unsafe APIs (in ways, I must reiterate, that have safe alternatives to achieve the same performance). (if anyone's interested, I can later ask around/dig through issue history and give the references)
