Most .NET programmers aren't aware that it's compatible with other languages that we don't usually consider part of that family, like Mono. This is because its written assemblies and execution environment are standard - set by Microsoft and quite a few other companies. The spec provides details on the Common Language Specification, the Common Intermediary Language, the Common Type System, in addition to a lot of helpful tips for programmers. The thing, at its heart, is comprised of a list of rules for compilers and translators that, if followed, guarantee security and compatibility. The ECMA also packages an XML file than contains information on all necessary base classes.
