- Zecc 13y agoTL;DR: the CLI is the specification, of which the CLR is Microsoft's own implementation. Another/the other implementation of the CLI is Mono. Which begs the question: you've written "Microsoft's CLI", which does make sense because they were the ones who've come up with it, but can't that be interpreted as a synonym for CLR? Maybe that's what 616c meant.
- cyrus_ 13y agoMicrosoft authored and controls the standard, so I don't think it is unreasonable to call it Microsoft's CLI, but sure.
- 616c 13y agoSorry, my bad. I had no idea about CLI, and the CLI-CLR distinction, or I would not have put foot in mouth. Thanks for the link and not a snarky comment.
