Singularity and managed code....

[suryad]

What the heck is managed code? Is it JIT code like Java? Something that requires a VM to run? Isnt .NET like Java? So then if the above assumptions are true then how does Singularity run on a computer? I mean doesnt it need a VM to run the code? Kind of confused.

IIRC Singularity is only written in C# (and partly assembly), which is then compiled to x86. It does not rely on CLR to run.

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

It uses AOT compilation in other words.
