Interviews: Peeking Under the Lid of Open Source .NET CLI Implementations

[Russell Jones]

Cross-platform .NET development is imminent, but the purpose, feature set,
and platform support varies. We were curious about the development of the
various open source implementations of Microsoft .NET's Common Language
Runtime, so we talked to the key developers in charge of Mono, Rotor, and
Portable .NET-to find out what they've built, how they did it, and how they
compare. What we found might surprise you. Read the interviews here:

Mostly Cobol, especially for the JIT engine.

Cobol? Is that a typo?

I'd say it's humor.

I would say the whole article was humor.
