> You need expensive Windows Servers to host your stuff and Windows just disqualifies itself as a server platform (my subjective opinion). Having to use a powerful latest-tech machine and very recent OS version (2012?) with loads of patches, newest .NET framework just to host a super simple REST service with the almighty IIS is OVERKILL in every sense of the word.
This is true, I definitely agree.
I am , however, excited to know that they are taking steps to change this. ASP VNext is the next generation of asp.net applications: standalone, framework bundled, cross platform.

Then you are happy to read about Owin :-) using (WebApplication.Start<Startup>(url)) { Console.WriteLine("Server running on {0}", url); Console.ReadLine(); }
- darylteo 12y agoI've been stuck working in MVC3. I started a MVC5 app recently, and haven't had time to wonder about Owin. I'll have to look into it more.

They will need to put a lot of effort into it to have something even remotely equal to Node (or other micro servers). And when they deliver, the Node hype could be gone already! ;)
- steviee 12y agoYes, I'm also eager to see this in action. About time. Regards, Steviee
