Hi,
 Event-driven is no a good choice for lua programming.Coroutine is a better choice.

I'm no computer scientist, but I think that event loops and coroutines can be used together quite nicely.

Hi,

I have been reading this post and hopping for a small example. Can someone explain if I have a C[++] thread that fires an event to Lua how it can "hook-up" in a thread safe way to the event? I would be fine with what ever work. No matter if it is coroutine or callbacks. I know the particular library I am trying to wrap uses callbacks, but the events can happen anytime. I tried to just call a registered Lua function, but I had thread safty issues because the event got fired while the main part of the script was running.
