Grrr. Why won't Microsoft open the CLR? It's so fast and has such amazing codegen! I don't want performance to degrade moving from Windows to some platform that requires I run mono!

Watch how you are about to answer your own question.

Yes, but Microsoft, who sells Windows licenses, does want performance to degrade when you move from Windows to some other platform.

While it's not the same insanely-optimized JIT-compiled runtime implementation that you're asking about, note that the .Net micro framework has been released as Apache 2.0.

The solution is to ignore .NET entirely and only use Mono, even on Windows. Then you get the same platform everywhere, as you would with the JVM.
