This comes at the best time possible. The last couple of days I have been contemplating giving this framework a try. Does anyone have any experience using ASP.NET Core under Linux and running it in production? If so, would you recommend it?

Me, well not really linux but his cousin from the Unix side, macOS. I have to admit, I was really doubtful about starting this project, I didn't want to lose time with obscure errors instead of working on the solution I wanted to implement. I'm a .NET developer, I use Windows at work and macOS at home. I wanted to start a side project, just for fun, I wanted to develop fast, since I don't have too much time in the afternoon to work on this side project, so I didn't want to lose too much time learning a totally new framework or language. Even though I was afraid I could found too much trouble in my learning process, I gave a try to ASP.NET Core in my mac, and I don't regret it, it has been awesome, I haven't found big issues preventing me to progress in my project. Working with VS Code has been really nice too, it's refreshing and clean, I almost haven't missed Visual Studio, actually I think I like it better (it feels kind of like a love affair). I'm still in the developing phase so I can't give you an opinion on deployment and testing my project in production, but now I'm confident that won't be a big issue.

TL;DR Yes I recommend it, lately Microsoft has been developing really cool stuff, and I doubt they will disappoint us, at least in the short to medium term.
