Languages, Frameworks, and Application Templates
Programming in Visual Studio and the .NET Framework means you have a variety of languages from which to choose. .NET was built to be somewhat language agnostic. The common type system (CTS), the common language specification (CLS), the common language runtime (CLR), and the Framework all work to abstract language from .NET and provide developers with choice. Once deployed and compiled, applications written on .NET are very similar in runtime execution.
