CLI Languages are computer programming languages that are used to producelibraries and programs that conform to the Common Language Infrastructurespecifications. With some notable exceptions, most CLI languages compile entirely tothe Common Intermediate Language (CIL), an intermediate language that can beexecuted using an implementation of CLI such as the Common Language Runtime(CLR), a part of the Microsoft .NET Framework, Mono, or Portable.NET.

As the program is being executed by the CLR, the CIL code is compiled and cached,just in time, to the machine code appropriate for the architecture on which theprogram is running. This last set can be shortcut manually and cached at an earlierstage using an "ahead of time" compiler such as Microsoft's ngen.exe and Mono's "-aot" option.

Common CLI Languages

C#: Most widely used CLI language,bearing similarities to C++ and Java.Implementations provided by .NETFramework, Portable.NET andMono.C++/CLI: A version of C++ includingextensions for using CLR objects.Implementation provided only .NETFramework. Can produce either CIL-based managed code or mixed-modecode that mixes both managed codeas well as native code. The compiler isprovided by Microsoft.F#: A multi-paradigm CLI languagesupporting functional programming aswell as imperative object-orientedprogramming disciplines. Variant ofML and is largely compatible withOCaml. The compiler provided byMicrosoft.J#: A CLS-compliant implementationof Java. The compiler is provided by
