Hi Jordan We have ported a fairly large nodejs app to Luvit. The original port was probably in the order of 10K lines of code. The app is now exceeding 100K lines of Lua/Luvit. The 'translation' process is pretty smooth and the result is an app that runs in a fraction of the resources of the original nodejs app however one large issue is the lack of libraries. This means that most applications will need to be ported very deeply i.e. the app + all of its dependencies. This can be simple or complex depending on the complexity of the libraries that the app is using.
We also have spent quite a bit of time on tracking down small differences between Luvit and nodejs however this has been, I think, the exception rather than the rule. It has definitely been worth the effort.
