Seriously, when a corporation creates a VM and enforces a standard, and provides APIs for use in their framework&#x2F;software ecosystem - just don&#x27;t adopt it.<p>If it is done via a Foundation with an API&#x2F;ABI that is freely available to use - then use this.<p>But never adopt a framework created by a corporation if you can avoid it. And that includes .NET. While the current corporation may be benign, some other rapacious and unethical corporation might buy them out - then you are screwed.
