My startup is in asp.net, for the same reason yours will be. I am lightning fast at it and that is what counts. .NET can be just as fast, it has one of the better development environments (in my opinion) and is just as great as any other languages. It is scaling rather well with my startup. I think the only reason it doesnt get as much attention is due to it's perceived startup costs. But no problem at all if you join BizSpark. (Best deal MS has ever put out for startups)
