Luaetta is a suite which consists of an unique Lua application for the web and a Lua library which eases developing of web applications in Lua. Written in C++, this is similar to PHP but more secure, faster and a lot more flexible.
Project Start: August 2007
Project Status: in development
Currently there are two source bases, neither officially released but some people have it.
Luaetta
- FastCGI interface to talk to HTTP servers
- first interface for Lua script via onRequest() function
- complete access to HTTP request/response body and header in Lua scripts
Luaetta-ng
- a lot stuff rewritten
- focus on supporting new change in web development to AJAX and long-living requests
- using libevent
- own scheduler
- coco-patch for complete coroutine support
- scripts can wait some time, on events, messages, etc.
- own internal messaging to let LuaThreads, which process the requests, talk to each other
- improved configuration
Current lack of a lot that would one call web framework, just some URL handling. Stuff like theming, database access and a lot stuff is still evaluated.
