I think this post is interesting, but mostly at this point useful as a frame of reference for all the changes that have happened in the .NET ecosystem in 2 years.  For example, the server produced by the ASP.NET team (Kestrel) has now been benchmarked at over 300K req&#x2F;s, and it&#x27;s using libuv under the hood as an event-based IO engine.  That&#x27;s also not to mention that Mono has benefited tremendously from the new open-source nature of the entire .NET framework, and is a far more viable portability story for .NET than it ever has been (although it still has its pain points).  Soon enough, Microsoft will have its own port of CoreCLR for Linux.<p>Also, relatedly, I think this post is also mostly about the characteristics of the .NET <i>community</i> and its culture, and less about technology.  The aforementioned recent changes are indicative of substantial growth and diversification of that community, and I think likely heralds a lot more good changes to come.
