Actually, .Net's main goal is interoperablity. All .Net languages compile down to the same intermediate language. So in essence, all languages could be used by every other language. This is good because some languages are better at some things than others.

Oh, I didn't know that.  Actually, wine's app database lists .NET as working fairly well, surprisingly.

 

Only if you have a Windows license. .NETwas NOT designed for interoperability between platforms; it was designed for interoperability between the platforms Microsoft wants you to have (Windows, Xbox). If they had wanted real interoperability they would have made C#/.NET an completely open standard that anyone can implement. Instead, they threaten Mono and Linux with patent claims and then use the threat to 'buy out' companies (Novell has submitted to it, for example).
