how about the differences between luv and luvit?

richardhundt commented 12 years ago

Luvit is more than just libuv bindings. Luvit borrows heavily from node.js's architecture, and they've tweaked a lot of things like lua's module loading. Luvit is an HTTP server too, is statically linked to luajit2, and most importantly, Luvit is callback oriented, with some fiber stuff bolted on the side.

Luv tries to just be libuv bindings, but done in a Lua way. No callbacks. What for? We've got coroutines. Luv is also not ever going to be an HTTP daemon. By all means, build one with it, but I'd rather put http://mongrel2.org in front and let it talk ØMQ to my Luv app.

I'd like to consider luv as the replacement of mongrel2 ;)

Nothing is impossible.
