I'm incredibly biased. But that bias has come from assessing the technical details and concluding that NT really is superior, if that's any consolation.
PyParallel flogs the Windows versions of things like Go, Node and Tornado because none of those were implemented in a way that allows the NT completion-oriented I/O facilities to be optimally exploited.
It's depressing, honestly. In the sense that open source software never really comes close to taking advantage of NT because there are no such paradigms on UNIX. It's also complex as hell... I came from a UNIX background and completion ports were just a bizarre black box of overcomplicated engineering -- but after taking the time to understand the why, that was just a blub paradox reaction. And it's been a couple of years now of concerted study to really start appreciating the little details.
