native targets
For a very long time .NET assemblies loaded into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) have been compiled to native code. Today's .NET native target is more like LLVM than the VM's of old, and C# like Clang.
If you don't like garbage collection, you wont like the .NET runtime providing GC for you. RAII does not obviate the need to use smart pointers to avoid memory leaks. Porting .NET is no more difficult than porting LLVM
