Are C#/Mono web frameworks an option? Because I would love to see how http://servicestack.net fares:

https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Real-world...

We've had a lot of requests Mono, and are actually very interested in trying this out. We've been hesitant to move forward only because we're unsure how stable the C# community believes Mono to be. We hope to have that test at some point though, but the fastest way to get a test included is to issue a pull request. So if anyone is interested in trying this out, let us know and we can help guide the process.

Cool, a note on the stability side: http://www.servicestack.net and the live demos http://www.servicestack.net/#livedemos have always been hosted on Linux/Mono in all the years it's been in existence.

Is GitHub issues the best way to ask for guidance?

Yes, Github issues is a good place to ask for guidance.

Ditto. Would be great to also compare them to .NET VM

+1 again. I'd like to see how .NET fares as well but I understand that this is a Linux x64 test...

I agree, I would like to see C# Mono included as well. People might also want to see C# .NET, but I don't think that is applicable here because we are talking about 64-bit Linux (the dominate internet platform) here.

Would be nice to see C# on Linux/mono as well as on IIS for comparison

Sorry I don't understand why it's not applicable? Mono is how you run C#/F#/.NET on Linux?

I wasn't saying Mono wasn't applicable, I WAS saying .NET was not applicable....

ok cool, was just a little vague, you should've mentioned 'Windows' as C# (even F# http://www.servicestack.net/mythz_blog/?p=785) is cross-platform and runs on OSX/Linux with Mono.
