Edge.js allows you to run .NET and Node.js code in one process

  First, wow, this looks quite impressive. Have you considered a Mono port as well? I know hosting Mono isn't as easy as C++/CLI (where IJW just makes all the magic happen) but it might be fun. Personally I never quite "got" node.js, except for the fact that there's a slick library for _everything_, so writing a small DNS interceptor is trivial. Forgive me if I didn't read properly, but I still have to run in node for this, right? Do you think it'd be possible to set something up that'd let .NET devs easily pull in a node module? Or is it better to just port the code in question (like the DNS server part) to .NET?

    I agree, quite impressive. I'm thinking the reverse will also be impressive - calling node.js packages from within .NET code.

  Pretty cool for in process, lots of people doing this now but across services using web services/rest or message queueing. nice to have an in proc option but the comment wrapper seems it will be hard to debug? Definitely an interesting direction and something to play with.

  We interviewed Tomasz about Edge.js on Herding Code a few months back, show and detailed show notes here: http://herdingcode.com/herding-code-166-tomasz-janczuk-on-edge-js/ http://herdingcode.com/herding-code-166-tomasz-janczuk-on-ed... We asked about Mono support at 06:11.

  In what scenarios would this be useful? Just to experiment?
