Note

CIL and MSIL are effectively synonymous and there isn't much difference between the two. CIL is the terminology used in the CLI standard while MSIL is the product term for Microsoft's implementation of the standard. Both apply to the CPU-independent instruction set. The CLR executes after a high-level language such as F#, C#, VB, C++, Python, Ruby, and so on has compiled.

F# and the Intermediate Language

F# belongs to the family of the .NET IL languages such as C# and VB.NET. The compilers for these languages output IL; JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation converts the IL to native code...
