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!

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.

Most people just leave you to it.
