Thank you. Are those runtimes all bytecode compatible? Or is that another layer of developer cognitive burden that the more efficient/performant/whatever choice entails, atop the whole "having a good way to write cross-platform applications" tangle?

  Nope but few (if any) platforms will accommodate such a demand. Xamarin will produce different bytecode from mono, for example.
