I started this project because javascript is more convenient and easier to teach (everyone knows). The fact that the V8 found in 10(!) Times faster than the native commands even through pipelining, it was found out only later. And as I said, none of my friends can not use LUA to do something serious, but easy to work with javascript. Most of what I've done is independent of the language I use a different approach to…
You presume a great deal. "Everyone knows"? I've always found Lua to be a much nicer language than JS, certainly with far fewer ways to shoot yourself in the foot. I always thought "everyone knows" that. If it wasn't for the lack of libraries, Lua would be my first choice for teaching someone programming. "Doing something serious" in Lua is mainly hindered by the aforementioned lack of libraries/platforms, compounded…
Personally I do not like LUA, I do not force anyone to use JS. My opinion is that JavaScript is a powerful and handy, but again, this is only my opinion.

Yes, but the easy of use of JavaScript is orthogonal to the performance claims. Also, keep in mind that I wrote Lua-JIT, not Lua. There's a big performance difference between them too.
I will perform the test on the speed of Lua-jit, but I wrote redis-v8 not for speed. The fact that the V8 was faster than Lua (regular) was a surprise for me.
