SignalR can be used for some applications, but “messaging” is a pretty broad category of different solutions, and I’m not sure what you’d want baked into ASP.NET to accommodate that. HTTP is standardized enough that basically everybody is doing it in very similar ways, but many pieces of a web application are better left for libraries to support.

Is there another mainstream platform with better messaging support without needing libraries that you can name as an example?

Agree with what you said. It is a complicated problem.

I do not look into other platforms. I look into my solutions: http i can write my business logic and that is mostly it. On messaging i have to think about threading, acknowledging, dead / poison letters, decoding, trace contexts, etc. And these is all non trivial code especially when done right.
