If you'd like to go a bit higher level without sacrificing performance, I suggest Lapis, a Lua/Moonscript framework built on top of OpenResty: http://leafo.net/lapis/ (not the author, just a fan!)
Thanks for sharing. Lapis looks really cool. For anyone curious about performance see ChikkaChiChi's comment[1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8021069
If you are interested in working on or with OpenResty then CloudFlare is hiring people in London and San Francisco. We employ agentzh and he works on OpenResty at CloudFlare. We use it _extensively_ throughout the CloudFlare stack. And also we really, really need more people with experience of OpenResty, NGINX, Lua and LuaJIT. https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team
One of the concerns I have about openresty is that so much of it relies on agentzh. He does amazing work at an insane rate - a rate that I'm a bit concerned (as someone who uses openresty & luajit extensively) can't be sustained in the long term, and is in serious jeopardy if he gets a better offer.
However, I imagine he wouldn't want to work for another company unless they also allowed him to spend a lot of time on the project.
