Thanks to breakthroughs in ROSLYN compiler and the efforts of the .NET COre developer team, code written in C# can reach speeds just a step behind C++.
Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Flexible
Being a small one file distribution it includes almost every vital thing you need to support little websites (routing, templating). Everything else can be implemented using plugins.
Pro Single-file distribution
Bottle works around the one-file approach, everything is done in a bottle.py file. This means that it's extremely easy to share and upload your application since it practically is just one python file.
Pro No need to install
It is so little there's no need to install, it is included in the standard libs python.
Pro Async, *let friendly
Using it with gevent is a breeze. It's a WSGI app so it's easy to make it work with anything.
Pro Truly magnificent
Pro Fast and getting faster
Thanks to breakthroughs in ROSLYN compiler and the efforts of the .NET COre developer team, code written in C# can reach speeds just a step behind C++.
Pro Multi platform
Can run on Windows, Linux and Mac (also Visual Studio Code editor).
Pro JSON optimization
In .NET Core 2.1 and 3.0, new APIs are added that make it possible to write JSON APIs that require less memory, using Span<T> and UTF8 strings, and improve throughput of applications like Kestrel, ASP.NET Core web server. See also Utf8JsonReader.
Pro Tutorials and documentation quality
Both microsoft and 3rd party tutorials are mostly of high quality and encourage you to use the industry best-practices.
Pro Built-in middleware
Built-in middleware featuring: Authentication, Cookie policy, Health Check, MVC, Session etc.
Pro Hosting
Ability to host on IIS, Nginx, Apache, Docker, or self-host in your own process.
Pro Ease of Use
Pro Security
It is a very secure platform.
Pro Tooling
Both VS and VSCode are powerful free IDEs that are well integrated with ASP.net Core. VS Community also allows for commercial use for projects with less than 5 developers.
Cons
Con Small community. Difficult to find online docs and examples
Con Very hard to develop projects that are not smaller than 1000 lines
While Bottle is a great framework for building small applications (generally less than 1000 lines of code), it starts getting very hard to manage your application if you want to go even a bit larger than that.
The fact that it follows a single-file distribution model and that it's missing something like Flask's blueprints only make this problem worse.
Con Microsoft environment
