Comparison of ASP.NET and Node.js for Backend Programming

We will compare ASP.NET and Node.js for backend programming.
Source codes from examples.

Updates

This document was published on 21.09.2015 for a freelance employer. Some changes since then (14.02.2016):

1. Koa.js no longer uses co-routines, it has switched to Babel's async/await. yield and await are used almost in the same way, so I see no point to rewrite the examples.

// List all files in a directory in Node.js recursively in a synchronous fashion
var walkSync = function(dir, filelist) {
  var fs = fs || require('fs'),
      files = fs.readdirSync(dir);
  filelist = filelist || [];
  files.forEach(function(file) {
    if (fs.statSync(dir + file).isDirectory()) {
      filelist = walkSync(dir + file + '/', filelist);
    }
    else {

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

class PngIconConverter
    {
        /* input image with width = height is suggested to get the best result */
        /* png support in icon was introduced in Windows Vista */
        public static bool Convert(System.IO.Stream input_stream, System.IO.Stream output_stream, int size, bool keep_aspect_ratio = false)
        {
            System.Drawing.Bitmap input_bit = (System.Drawing.Bitmap)System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromStream(input_stream);
            if (input_bit != null)
            {
                int width, height;
