Hi life24,

In my opinion, razor is the bladed tool. It is used to remove the unwanted body hair. 

I guess asp.net team wants this syntax is better than the asp.net web form.

Since the web form takes more server resources than the MVC.

The Razor syntax is a template markup syntax, based on the C# programming language, that enables the programmer to use an HTML construction workflow.

Hi,

Also it is intended to ease going back and forth between a C# and HTML context (like the move of a razor blade) but it's perhaps just my imagination ?

IMO your best bet would be to ask directly tmaybe to https://twitter.com/shanselman or Channel 9 etc....
