This is a welcome improvement to me. I've spent many an hour trying to figure out how to put some logic in nginx but it was never very intuitive to me. I think a reverse proxy + ssl termination + web cache should be considered part of a normal web stack and developers should be proficient to use the full stack when they develop and implement sites. Rather than trying to do everything on the app server, once I started utilizing nginx my app design changed somewhat and of course the response times dropped and the app server load was reduced. I'm hoping nginscript just makes it all easier to do.
