This isn't entirely unlikely. Microsoft actually involved a number of
non-Microsoft experts in the field of language and "virtual machine"
design in the development of some of the .NET technologies, such as
the CLR.

I haven't yet found the time to look at any of this stuff in detail,
but I will, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that it was
really quite good in many respects - MS didn't just forge it all from
the ground up in total isolation, ignoring all that had gone before,
hoping to get it working right in the 3rd release.
