Question

What is the Lua equivalent of Twisted Python, Eventmachine for Ruby, NIO for Java, etc.?

If there is none, how does one do non-blocking event-based network I/O?

In general, how does one solve the C10K problem in Lua?

Thanks!

Answer 1

A friend of mine recently begun the project Lua Event Machine, which should be a kind of Node.js, just in Lua.

(Haven't tried it myself, you I cant make any guarantees on the project's awesomeness...)
