I haven't released it yet, maybe I'll do a Show HN in the future!

For those who don't know, this is basically a clone of the Node.js API in the Lua language (using the LuaJIT compiler). This is interesting because:
- LuaJIT is often faster than V8 and uses less memory
- LuaJIT has a built in C FFI and supports C datatypes for working with low level libraries (or even writing low level code in Lua)
- Lua has coroutines
I think this is already being used in production at Rackspace, mainly because of the lower memory usage.
