Not to mention that should we opt for the Lua coroutines, this would
also indirectly mean it would be possible to dynamically alter the HTTP
process using custom scripts, which could be very interesting :) sort of
like mod_lua on steroids ;). Other ways this could be used would be unit
testing, where you could inject things into every crevice of httpd
dynamically without having to recompile when you change the test.
With regards,
Daniel.

I've been keen on libmill, which provides a golang-like

Then I started thinking: Lua also has a great coroutine impl
and it is also MIT licensed and might be easier to fold
into httpd. Anyone ever look at that? Having something like
ap_routine() would be awful cool. We already have some Lua
expertise here and being able to use native coroutines in httpd
itself would be very neat, esp for 2.6/3.0
