When you say user defined types on the stack do you mean .net Structs
or are other types supported? I know that .Net has more options as
regards passing things by type and by reference. Extra flexibility at
the cost of more complexity.

Many of the basic byte code operations seem fairly comparable from
basic examples from wikipedia but that may not tell the whole story.

The memory management concept is interesting because I thought that
the CLR does not unload classes to free up memory when the are not
needed. This behaviour might actually just be for mono. I know
something along those lines was mentioned in some Second Life
technical talks about the technicalities of making the Second Life
scripting engine run on Mono.

I get the impression that it is more or less possible to convert Java
byte code to IL but the reverse is not wholly true because of the
presence of some features in IL which do not exist in Java byte code.
