.NET CLR, C# set to be standardized
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft's C# programming language and .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) have passed through a working group within the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and will likely be approved as open standards by January. C# and the CLR were already declared standards by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) in late 2001, and with ISO certification in the works, we'll start seeing third party C# compilers and implementations of the .NET environment that run on Linux or other non-Microsoft platforms. It's a crazy, crazy world out there.
