Qt is like Boost and .Net a general purpose framework; it is also very useful on the server side or with command line applications. Qt Widgets is only one of many modules. Btw. you seem to mix up .Net with the virtual execution system (VES) and its common intermediate language (CIL). Have a look at the standard (ISO 23271) part I; you can download it for free from https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c0.... There is an additional technical report for the framework (ISO 23272), which can be downloaded from https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c0....

no. CLR would be the JVM equivalent.

.net would be like the OpenJDK

So, I assume they primarily mean the particular set of libraries being used
