I have the impression (maybe mistaken) that the scriptable module story in apache is much more mature than with nginx. Apache has had mod_python, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_lua, etc for ages. If you're using nginx, then you're most likely proxying to a backend. I've used mod_lua and apache for an application server and infrastructure tasks to great effect. This is anecdotal of course.
