Today, ASP.NET Uses The Same Framework Everything Else Does, even Desktop Apps!!
(While productive, it's really big)
ASP.NET vNext is a Reimagining of what ASP.NET could be like without the history of .NET and with everything we've learned from Ruby on Rails and Node.JS
ASP.NET vNext is:
Based SOLELY on NuGet packages w/side-by-side deploy
Deploy the entire framework with your app
Mac/Linux have first-class citizen support from MS
Hosted in IIS or "self-hosted" via the command line
Project files based on NuGet
Roslyn live-compile
Use VS, Sublime, MonoDevelop, Notepad, whatever
All compilation done in-memory
MVC/WebAPI are unified and the same
and more... (or less)
No More System.Web!
System.Web consumes 30K of memory per request. vNext consumes just 2K per request.
