Sharepoint 2013: Why is my deployed dll not in the GAC?

I have created a new SharePoint wsp and it has been successfully deployed, but when I searched for the compiled component in the GAC, it was nowhere to be seen. Huh?

The simple solution is that the GAC is .net 1.0 - 3.5 is not the same as the GAC in .net 4.0+.

The old GAC is the trusted location c:\windows\assembly
The new GAC resides in c:\windows\microsoft.net\assembly

It was there after all - it helps when you look for the file in the right place.
