Blocking I/O is the default in most existing libraries, especially ones binding to C/C++ libraries. This is the reason that luvit 1.0 explicitly broke compatibility with lua's native require and luarocks.
I didn't want to face the problem of people accidentally pulling in some blocking dependency and then publishing benchmarks about how slow luvit is. I've since changed my mind and decided that it's not my job to prevent this kind of food gun. I give you the tools, do with them as you wish.
