C#, C#, No really C#

So I have started a new project, and yep its written in C#.

So why C# ... Well I have worked with Ruby/Rails and I wasn't overly happy with the performance. I have toyed around with Python/Django, I don't know why, but I don't seem to feel comfortable working with Python, it feels very lispy, but just misses the mark. Working with either a scheme or lisp is very nice, but no one else can touch the code, and you end up having to write a lot of extra stuff, which is just a pain.

I have played with C# in the past, the performance isn't so bad, the language isn't so bad, and you can find almost anything you want in terms of libraries. You can run it on a Linux platform using Mono ... and well the IDE (Visual Studio 10) is really just amazing.

For the web framework, I have decided to use my own, I'm sure that is going to cost me more in the long run, but there are lots of tricks I don't see myself being able to do with the likes of MVC.
