Vulpes · Answer

There is a set of rules known as the Common Language Specification (or CLS) which a language needs to satisfy to be .NET compliant. These rules guarantee that the language supports the minimum set of features needed to ensure that it can produce or consume types which are compatible with other CLS-compliant languages. Please see this link ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/12a7a7h3.aspx ) for further details.

.Net provides large libraries with many classes. A language must be able to use those libraries. It is a major feature that would be made very clear in the documentation if .Net is supported.
