They said they're replacing 15 years of Nginx+Lua, that's a testament to how good it can be.
Proves the point that if one isn't reaching for Cloudflare performance levels, maybe that JIT in "pick your lang" is already more than adequate for the work being done, no need for RIIR.

Which is kind of lost in the days that everyone wants to be the next unicorn.
