Managed C++

Managed C++ is a new programming language from Microsoft. It is intended to provide a C++-like language for the .NET framework, but it is not Standard C++; it lacks many features of standard C++ and provides several new features of its own. Managed C++ is not on-topic in #c++.

C++/CLI is the successor to Managed C++, intending to be closer to standard C++. C++/CLI was submitted to ISO for standardisation, but was rejected because of the potential confusion with ISO C++. C++/CLI is not on-topic in #c++ either.
