Luvit

Familiar API Luvit implements the same APIs as Node.js, but in Lua! This helps teams migrate without having to learn a new way of programming.

Async Choice Choose your async model; we don’t mind; we encourage experimentation. If you don’t like callbacks and event emitters, use coroutines and write blocking style code without actually blocking your event loop!

Modular Core The various projects in the luvit ecosystem can be mixed and matched to build the ideal runtime for your application.

Use luv directly in luajit Use lit without node apis The possibilities are endless
