I see a pattern here. People were excited about JVM, then came along CLR. And it is now getting attention as MS is porting it to Linux/OSX. Next cool thing will be BEAM (Erlang's VM) based languages, i.e. Elixir, Lisp Flavored Erlang etc. Reminds me of the hype cycle. So lets get hyped!
OSX (and FreeBSD) was done by the OSS community not by MSFT.
