That raises a question, would you call C# a "High Level" language?

In C# it's more relevant to understand semantics (ref/value type) than allocation details (unless you actually care about low level details for performance/interop)
I'd say the fact that structs are stack-allocated, and you can slip right through years of development without even knowing that fact... yeah, it's pretty high-level. C# doesn't have `malloc`. .Net apps are managed, so all of those low-level things one has to/gets to do are abstracted away.
