Is there an equivalent of Node.js for .NET developers?

Question

I'm a .NET developer and would like to use something like Node.js and run it in the Microsoft cloud. Is there an equivalent? I know Microsoft is helping port this over but no sign of when this will happen and I need something in the meantime.

Answer 1

There's a couple of projects under way:

https://github.com/dnewcome/Node.net

https://github.com/Rduerden/Node.cs

I couldn't vouch for their completeness.

I'd also have a read of this post by Ayende, the comments are particularly interesting:
