What is L# .NET?

L# .NET is a dynamic computer programming language intended to be compiled and executed on the Ecma-334 and Ecma-335 Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). It has a small, simple, extensible core that’s coded in C#. The source code is easy to follow, and you can easily add your own functions in C# or L#.
L# .NET History
