Many of us use it in scenarios where others would write a blog post about a rewrite in Rust, C++ or whatever.

CLR was designed to support languages like C++, yet many don't learn the knobs.

Any lesser known knobs one should know? I'm considering a .NET backend for my compiler

		If on Windows, one is to see what C++/CLI would generate, with ildisam or similar tool. You can also emit MSIL for what you actually want to do, with low-level bytecodes. Then there is unsafe, ref structs, stack allocation, fixed buffers, scoped types, manual memory management, array pools, memory pipelines, the various span variants.
