I primarily do web stuff, apis etc. I wanted to use Lua for a new project and basically gave up. I looked at OpenResty and Lapis and really, really wanted to use it but it was a pain to get working and pain to keep working. Not sure if it has matured since the last time I looked at it (2-3 months ago), but at the time I couldn't use it without quite a bit of mucking around.

That said, I would still love to use it if it was even close to ready.

It is improving fast these days. If you have used it months ago it was 0.0.1 and now it is 0.0.3. Still, those version numbers should make it clear you should not use it in production for something serious...

OpenResty itself, on the other hand, is perfectly usable and used in production at large websites such as Taobao (the Chinese eBay / Amazon) and CloudFlare.
