Re: how to make a callback based socket interface?

[Fabien <fleutot+lua@...>]

I believe that nmap does something like that for its Lua workers; you should check their sources.

Beware though that despite Node.js' hype, callback-driven  APIs quickly turn user code into an unmaintainable spaghetti plate mess.

The antidote to this is coroutine, offering callback performances with normal code readability, and Lua is one of the few languages which properrly supports them.
