Now you can use iisnode [1] which allows IIS to host Node apps while also acting as the static file server and optionally also serving up ASP.NET/MVC/WebAPI requests. In the past I wouldn't have considered running Javascript on IIS but with iisnode, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities that can be mixed into the .NET world.
