Compiling to Lua
Yeah I never really understood luvit. Callbacks make sense in JavaScript because it doesn't have coroutines. But Lua has coroutines! So why does luvit use callbacks? It does seem like a step backward.

Historical reasons. The guy who wrote luvit knew NodeJS but didnt know Lua when he started working on it.
