I must add that, the stuffs shown in these slides are just our "level 1 scripting". There will be level 2 and level 3, so as to support more sophisticated business logic in our data platform.

Level 2 will be ngx_lua scripting which provides Erlang-style transparent non-blocking I/O support and access to the whole nginx infrastructure and all the level 1 scripting goodies.

Level 3 will be...well...Perl 6, JavaScript, and PHP scripting atop the ngx_lua VM (by the corresponding X -> Lua compiler). grin We'll eventually get there.
