The title says it all: what CLR version is / will be needed to run C# 6 programs? The CLR version is interesting to find out the system requirements and supported operating systems.
I googled [1] [2] and had a look at Wikipedia and MSDN but could not find the information.
Common Language Runtime (CLR) manages the execution of . NET programs. The just-in-time compiler converts the compiled code into machine instructions. This is what the computer executes. The services provided by CLR include memory management, exception handling, type safety, etc.
The CLR provides additional services including memory management, type safety, exception handling, garbage collection, security and thread management. All programs written for the . NET Framework, regardless of programming language, are executed in the CLR.
NET CLR. As part of the Microsoft . NET Framework, the Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the programming (Virtual Machine component) that manages the execution of programs written in any language that uses the . NET Framework, for example C#, VB.Net, F# and so on.
You can implement CLR routines in any language that can be compiled into an IL assembly. These languages include, but are not limited to: Managed C++, C#, Visual Basic, and J#.
C # 6 language enhancements is compatible to .net framework starting from 2.0 to 4.6. It does not require any higher version of .net framework but need higher version of Visual studio such as VS 2015. C# 6 is also available to VS 2013 with addon https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn
