I also didn't find a description and so browsed through the
bits. It seems like JVM only. So, I asked a corresponding
question on the ORP mailing list. This is the answer

We are looking into supporting .NET's intermmediate language. The feedback
from the research community is actually very important to us. Would you
(and other people on the ORP mailing list) find such support useful?

the source, wrote the ORP code.
