Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
Here's an example [1] of a device driver in C#. It is possible. It is also not recommended.

Can anyone tell me what c# can do that other languages can't, or what c# does better than other languages?
You can create device drivers in C#, here's an example. Not familiar with creating COFF dll-s myself but I imagine that'd also be possible with some tweaking. It might not be supported right out of the box, sure.

Writing a kernel in C# on Linux
https://github.com/VollRagm/KernelSharp Based on ZeroKernel, so again driver only.
