They also support node.js, from what I recall. And you can use PHP on Azure.
Azure supports (in varying degrees):
.NET, node.js, php, java, python, and ruby.
It also has CLI tools for linux and osx.
If you look into the Azure docs, you will see that many of the services have an XML definition that can certainly be implemented on differing platforms.
VS also appears to get some love including additional JS support, PVTS, etc.
