The technology stack of the site is pretty interesting. I wrote a little about it here: http://leafo.net/posts/introducing_itchio.html#technology http://leafo.

The technology stack of the site is pretty interesting. I wrote a little about it here: http://leafo.net/posts/introducing_itchio.html#technology http://leafo.net/posts/introducing_itchio.html#technology Essentially the web app runs directly inside of nginx (but a special build of nginx from the project OpenResty[0]). The entire site is coded in MoonScript[1], which is my language that compiles to Lua. I developed a web framework called Lapis while making this site, it doesn't have documentation yet but you can find the source here: https://github.com/leafo/lapis https://github.com/leafo/lapis I you want to see another sample Lapis webapp you can check out my MoonRocks project.
