I don't know about you but a 3x performance increase going from a scripting language with fast iteration times to a programming language that has long compilation times plus a borrow checker is hardly worth the risk of a rewrite to the average company. Add on top the fact that one of the performance problems was interfacing nginx with luajit, aka there are two unnecessary memory copies. When I think about these things, I'm thinking cloudflare was lucky enough to outgrow lua rather than being lucky to have gotten away with luajit.
