Luvit is an aynchronous I/O for Lua.

## Familiar API

Luvit implements the same APIs as Node.js, but in Lua!

This helps teams migrate without having to learn a new way of programming.

## Async Choice

Choose your async model; we don’t mind; we encourage experimentation.

If you don’t like callbacks and event emitters, use coroutines and write blocking style code without actually blocking your event loop!


## Modular Core

The various projects in the luvit ecosystem can be mixed and matched to build the ideal runtime for your application.

Use luv directly in luajit
Use lit without node apis
The possibilities are endless
