Why doesn't C# have local static variables like C? I miss that!!

Both Java and Python have the concept of a "string", C does not have the concept of a "string". C has character arrays which can come in "read only" or manipulatable. A character array is a sequence of contiguous characters with a unique sentinel character at the end (normally a NULL terminator '\0' ).
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. C does no support polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance which means that C does not support object oriented programming. C++ supports polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance because it is an object oriented programming language.
As such, C programming does not provide direct support for error handling but being a system programming language, it provides you access at lower level in the form of return values. Most of the C or even Unix function calls return -1 or NULL in case of any error and set an error code errno.
The C programming language doesn't seem to have an expiration date. It's closeness to the hardware, great portability and deterministic usage of resources makes it ideal for low level development for such things as operating system kernels and embedded software.
Because they screwed up, and left out a useful feature to suit themselves.
All the arguments about how you should code, and what's smart, and you should reconsider your way of life, are pompous defensive excuses.
Sure, C# is pure, and whatchamacallit-oriented. That's why they auto-generate persistent locals for lambda functions. It's all so complicated. I feel so dumb.
Loop scope static is useful and important in many cases.
Short, real answer, is you have to move local statics into class scope and live with class namespace pollution in C#. Take your complaint to city hall.
