> They are going to support JavaScript soon

Whoa. Slow down. They have only confirmed replacing their custom configuration language with JavaScript and hinted at an official JavaScript module [1], as opposed to the existing third-party module [2].

Bundling a Node.js-like JavaScript api layer with their official module would be a logical next step, because nginx is an event loop anyway. But, I highly doubt JavaScript will be anywhere near the Nginx core.

Thanks for the clarification, that's what I though but my comment was quite vague
