MVC 6 
ASP.NET MVC and Web API have been merged into one. Dependency injection is inbuilt and part of MVC. Side by side - deploy the runtime and framework with your application Everything packaged with NuGet, Including the .NET runtime itself. New JSON based project structure. No need to recompile for every change. Just hit save and refresh the browser.
The compilation is done with the new Roslyn real-time compiler. vNext is Open Source via the .NET Foundation and is taking public contributions.
vNext (and Rosyln) also runs on Mono, on both Mac and Linux today.
