Within the rest of the book, we will focus in detail on each of the elements we have already touched on: types, assemblies and metadata, JIT compilation, managed execution, automatic memory management, and the platform adaptation layer. In the next chapter, we begin by examining the notion of type within the CLI and the execution engine, and how the CLI guarantees typesafety within the managed environment.
