Moving from Node.js to ASP.NET Core

One critical thing I don't feel the article answers is why you would want to move to .NET, what the advantages are over Node.js, TypeScript et al.

I don't mean this as criticism, I'm working on some Node/TS projects and I'm very interested to hear the strengths .NET has over Node.

I've been working with TypeScript a lot over the past year and prefer it to some other languages now(like Python). I would still probably prefer C# and dotnet; all the way if it ran in the browser.

* .Net is faster * ASP.NET Core is faster * .Net uses thread pools for task scheduling; parallelism * Run time type information * An mostly complete task(async/await) based stdlib(node hasn't even started on this to my knowledge) * Linq -> fantastic * Entity Framework -> not without some quirks, but fantastic * Roslyn; feeding dev-time code generation back into your compiler/tools allows for some really cool IDE aware tooling. * Cool JIT/IL stuff like Jil * More number types than "number" * etc

I have the impression he used Node in 2014, never touched it again, didn't want to catch up and was already familiar with ASP.NET.
