I am wondering why is this being discussed on HN today, after 4 days?

  Microsoft technologies seem to be surprisingly popular here. It kind of makes sense: releasing early and iterating quickly is a strong theme within startups and the Microsoft stack, while not my favorite one, is familiar to a lot of developers. If it takes you one month to learn and one month to develop a first release on a stack like Rails of Django, you'd still release first if it took you 45 days to develop on a stack your developers are already familiar with. You still have the challenges of scaling on Windows, but, by then, you already know whether you'll need to.
