Seeing things like this gives me hope that one day Windows will be a first class os for web development. Now if I could just maximize the command prompt window....

I like Web API a lot and would have no problems using it more. I've never messed around with SignalR, I had already started playing with Node at that point. As I mentioned, but didn't elaborate on, in my first post I had an urgent need to fix a production problem as quickly as possible. But the service giving us the problems was opaque, and encumbered by these massive 100+ project .NET solutions that had grown unwiel…
Sounds reasonable :). Although I dread imagining a JavaScript equivalent of a "100+ project .NET solutions" built in spirit of "rapid development".

Do you have a reference for Azure internals being written in node.js? I'd love to read about it.
i'll try to find out. top my head i know the azure node sdk is all node (obviously...), all the cross-plat commands/utils are node, skype, yammer, bing (?), ... all use node to various extents. some info: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/ https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-node https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-tools-xplat
Seems like overkill. Part of why Node is great and so easy to get started with is that all you need is a browser, a text editor, and the terminal. I suppose for people that already use VS this is good, but maybe we should encourage them to write Node apps outside of that environment instead of shoving Node into a giant IDE.

I just fire up the powershell ISE. I'd love a quake style terminal that's just this things console in borderless mode.

Well, they're not taking that away from you. You can still get started with the basics. But even node apps can get big. It's the debugging story I'm really digging here. Being able to just set a breakpoint and hit f5 is real exciting as opposed to having to type "debugger" in your code and then sit around for ages. It's a shame I do all my node work on a Mac. I'm guessing this won't be available for VS express?
This seems useful for the profiling alone.
What's cool about it, IMHO (I wrote the post above) is that it takes the V8 profiling stuff and feeds it into the VS visualizer...as it should.

also used different web servers including apache and tomcat.
