The Manos Web Framework - Free Yourself from IIS and ASP.NET!

Manos de Mono is a high performance asynchronous environment for building web applications using evented IO with a built in web server. The current benchmark is showing Manos cranking out more than 10k requests per sec. Manos is inspired by the Tornado web server that powers Friend Feed which is written in Python. Manos is trying to fill similar gap for the Mono/.NET platform. Traditionally C# hasn't been the language of choice for rapid web application development. One of the goals of Manos is to make C# a viable solution. Manos is still in its early days. Jackson Haper, a member of the Mono team, is aggressively developing the framework. In this presentation, I'll cover a bit of the history of Tornado web server, and also provide an overview of Manos.
