Lately I have been scouting the idea of running .NET code in-process within node.js applications. At this point I would like to cast a wide net to ask for opinions and help in identifying additional use cases where running .NET in node.js adds substantial value or solves a hard problem.
The project was so far inspired by three main scenarios: 1. Implementing express.js request handlers and connect middleware for node.js apps using .NET 4.5 and OWIN: http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2013/02/hosting-net-code-in-nodejs-applications.html 2. Running CPU-bound workloads for node.js applications in-process (without blocking the node.js event loop): http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2013/02/cpu-bound-workers-for-nodejs.html 3. Accessing Windows-specific functionality from node.js applications using C#/.NET instead of writing C/C++/Win32 node.js extensions (e.g. access to SQL, ETW): http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2013/02/access-ms-sql-from-nodejs-application.html The bits are at https://github.com/tjanczuk/owin. I would love to hear opinions, ideas, suggestions, feedback etc. I also do take contributions.
