The Common Language Runtime (CLR), the

thread management. All programs written for the .NET Framework, regardless of programming language
, are executed in the CLR. All versions of the .NET Framework include CLR. The CLR team was started June 13, 1998.

CLR implements the Virtual Execution System (VES) as defined in the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard, initially developed by Microsoft itself. A public standard defines the Common Language Infrastructure specification.[2]

During the transition from legacy .NET technologies like the .NET Framework and its proprietary runtime to the community-developed

.NET Core, the CLR was dubbed CoreCLR.[3] Today, it is simply called the .NET runtime.[4]
