This is very very nice. I have been begging Igor(nginx author) for years to add LUA or JS support for scripting in an async style. This is a great start and kudos to the author.
Kick ass!
Igor Sysoev once wrote "Why is Google V8 is not suitable for embedding in server" http://sysoev.ru/prog/v8.html (russian).
Google translate does surprisingly well at getting the gist across:
Indeed it does. Essentially, V8 is optimized for embedding in Chrome and doesn't work that well embedded in a web server.
I have to say; despite the author appearing to be non-native English speaker that is some of the best intro/install/get started documentation I've seen for a while.
