Why .net cant become a platform independent language...


Why .net cant become a platform independent language...

The CLI (short for Common Language Infrastructure) is a standard, and as such it is designed to be mostly platform-independent. Here, platform refers to the underlying computer architecture, including the operating system.

.NET is Microsoft's principal implementation of the CLI and runs only on Windows systems. Therefore, .NET is not platform-independent.

Mono is also an implementation of the CLI, but one designed to work on different platforms such as Linux and Windows. Mono is definitely more platform-independent than .NET.
