One of the interesting things I'm waiting to see is if .NET gets good enough to become the "main" platform for compile to VM languages like Clojure. It can already compile to .NET, but it's significantly less used than the JVM version, despite .NET generally being easier to target.
People have been using the CLR like that for many languages for many years. Maybe you didn't hear about it because it was a Windows thing.
.NET was good enough when it came out many years ago. It was just a closed one platform thing.
