I'd caution against the performance claims. Yes its very good and can take a serious beating but there's a brick wall that requires a pile of tuning and tool purchasing to get over.

Oh and the instrumentation and debugging past the bits of code you wrote and the .Net runtime core libraries is utterly horrible.

See some of my earlier comments about this matter.

I'd rather build on the JVM now thanks to tools like VisualVM and profilers that can be deployed across the team for free.

99% of startups simply will never hit the performance problems you seem to be talking about.

Yeah but its the ones that matter, that do? The successful ones with traction.

Indeed. We thought it was the same and nearly lost two big clients because we didn't see it coming.
