+The .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) offers a new opportunity to
+experiment with multi-language interoperation, and provides a relatively
+rare chance to explore deep interoperation of a wide range of
+programming language paradigms.
+This article describes how Mercury is compiled to the CLR.
+We describe the problems we have
+encountered with generating code for the CLR,
+give some preliminary benchmark results,
+and suggest some possible improvements to the CLR
+regarding separate compilation, verifiability, tail calls, and efficiency.
