I do hear people saying that code can be reused across client and server but I don't find many examples of it. I understand that using one programming language for both client and server is really good as there is no context switch but I don't think that there can be much code can be shared between client and the server.

Also you don't need to program entire application in open resty. Just the idea of using lua instead of nginx mini- language for the config files can be a good enough reason to give it a try. Every body uses nginx anyways for their front end, no?
