Common language infrastructure (CLI)is a term which gives no results when run on the Microsoft web site]. But Common language runtime is not much better (4 hits). And Common language runtime gives a lot of hits, but they seem to be Java related.
A general google search on Common Language Infrastructure and Common Language Runtime gives a considerable amount of results. But sorting out needs its time.
I would like to see an article which translates the Microsoft speak into commonly known computing terms. The stub above is a first attempt at this. Perhaps it should be moved to another heading. -- Kwaku
CLI as seen with the eyes of a Java proponent: http://www.javalobby.org/clr.html

I removed some stuff because it was copied without even some decent formatting from http://hosting.msugs.ch/dotnetrox/vb/Ch01.html -- Jan Hidders 20:47 Sep 7, 2002 (UTC)
Category
I noticed that the article has no category. Maybe separate Category:Microsoft .NET should be created? --Derbeth 19:42, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I've put it in the already-existing Category:.NET programming languages. ··gracefool |☺ 05:13, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
My understanding is that the CLR (Common Language Runtime) is not technically a virtual machine. It does not run IL code, it loads and compiles it. The architecture is designed to provide a platform-neutral layer similar to that provided by Java's Virtual Machine, but the mechanism is different.
Implementations
Maybe, we'd add the link to Rotor as the reference implementation and Mono as another open-source one?
