I was not confused. My statement was in reply to your "hacked-up" comment.

Also, all languages that compile down to run on the CLR languages are
able to call other code also written to run on the CLR; that was one
of the main design points of the CLR. While the Scala guys and others
implementing on top of the JVM have to work to get that functionality,
it is a given for .NET as it was always intended to host multiple
languages.

Now, if only it had been designed to run on multiple platforms from
the beginning, too... ;-)
