OWIN Startup (startup.fs)

namespace Server

open Owin
open Microsoft.Owin

type Startup() =
    member x.Configuration(app: Owin.IAppBuilder) =
        app.Run(fun ctx ->
            ctx.Response.ContentType <- "text/plain"
            ctx.Response.WriteAsync("Owin Sample with F#")
        ) |> ignore

[<assembly: OwinStartup(typeof<Startup>)>]
do ()

You can plug SignalR and/or Nancy framework into this class and start from there. And the front-end part of the SPA can be developed in a separate project and hosted in CDN (ex.: angular-seed).
