luv

In your "See Also", you missed my favorite UV+Lua combination: https://github.com/richardhundt/luv/tree/ray (note the branch). It too uses the Lua coroutines but has a specially-built scheduler. How does this compare to that effort, specifically, how are the libuv event loop and the Lua coroutines combined?

You may want to take a look at openresty [1] moonscript [2], Lapis [3] and Kepler [4] . There has been some more direct efforts to port the "Node.js way" to Lua, one such is luvit [5] (significant overlap in the developers list) on the otherhand luv [6] exposes the underlying libraries slightly differently. Lua really ought to be considered JS done right and Eich should really have been given enough time to bring scheme to the browser (syntax could have been negotiable). Another interesting project is Typed Racket http://docs.racket-lang.org/ts-guide/index.html?q=typed and Guile http://wingolog.org if this sort of things interests you.
