why would you choose a web framework which requires you to change your operating system? That's asinine.

Your desktop operating system != your server operating system.

There are no "windows web frameworks" and that's not a coincidence. If you're serious about bringing something online then your first step should be to learn the proper tools anyways.

Insisting on a windows-platform only because that happens to be your preferred desktop OS, now that would be asinine.




There are no "linux web frameworks" either, aside from Rails I guess, because I don't know of any currently popular language other than Ruby that doesn't really work on Windows.


Most frameworks are obviously not bound to a particular OS but almost all of them are developed on a Unix and more or less assume a POSIX platform.

Yes, many do have a section in the docs for "Installation under windows" but that's normally intended for a development environment, at most and comes with many little strings attached such as "not tested on windows"-markers in the docs and raised eyebrows on the mailing list.


cython, and its modules.


What is asp.NET then?


I'm tempted to just say "A failed attempt at humor" but I'll rather say, okay: There are no web frameworks other than asp.net.
