Comment on Ryan's Deck from Code Conf (aka the plan for nodejs on windows)parent

stack overflow uses .net and windows development but uses linux servers and unix tools for a lot of the backend stuff. maybe it's a new trend.

Right, but this is my point, unless there is a compelling reason for the technology of Windows to run Node.js over nix, most competent Windows dev teams will choose a hybrid environment and use nix to run Node.

So perhaps I am being short sighted and there is a compelling technical reason to run Node.js on Windows, but if it's just having a market of devs who don't want to develop on *nix then I don't see it.
