Coming up next are backend interactions and cache improvements, refactoring of the rewrite module, and probably new embedded languages: Javascript or Lua.
I really hope he includes lua and javascript. Both would be cutting edge (Javascript server side is still pretty new) and Lua which should be used more. Kepler Project (http://www.keplerproject.org/ http://www.keplerproject.org/) is pretty good but Lua gets no love, this could change things big time for Lua.
- aschobel 17y agoLua support inside of Lighttpd via mod_magnet is quite powerful for rewrites. Curious if there is a nginx equivalent.
- simonw 17y agoI wouldn't call server-side JavaScript "new" as such - Netscape were experimenting with it in 1996: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_JavaScript http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_JavaScript
- drawkbox 17y agoTrue, but in terms of people using it in production and some of the faster JS engines like V8, Tamarin, Spidermonkey, Rhino etc it is having a resurgence now that it is getting to fast enough.
- piranha 17y agohere is small rant about v8 in nginx by Igor: http://sysoev.ru/prog/v8.html http://sysoev.ru/prog/v8.html It's in russian unfortunately... Probably google translate will help? In short - article says that V8 is not ready to be embedded in servers because of certain shortcomings.
