" summary

A concrete view of ASP.NET Core and .NET Core: a cross-platform .NET runtime with a released 1.0 runtime but tooling in preview (SDKs pinned via global.json), modular middleware that includes nothing by default, Kestrel as the fast server with internal tests around Kestrel hitting ~5M reqs/sec and TechEmpower results in the millions, GitHub-driven development (≈18k external contributors, corefx ~40% external), project.json evolving into CSProj for MSBuild compatibility, and tools like dotnet-watch and Roslyn forks (continuous.codes) already working on Mac/Linux.
