That's mostly because nobody spend a lot of time tagging the mono suite yet.

langdevel::c-sharp only applies to mono-mcs.


langdevel::cli = Common Language Infrastructure: "virtual machine that contains
a class loader, Just-in-time compiler, and a garbage collecting runtime." (from
the mono FAQ). CLI is also the part of .NET which is standardized under ECMA-335
(C# is ECMA-334).

or

langdevel::clr = Common Language Runtime, which is (1.)Microsoft's
implementation of CLI, maybe not a good choice or (2.) any implementation of the
CLI and executes CIL bytecode

or

langdevel::cil = Common Intermediate Language, the output of every .NET compiler

To make it a little bit clearer, we could also use langdevel::dotnet-cli.

If we can come to a consensus, I'll provide a patch for that.

greetings

Torsten
