This won't have any impact on the node.js community. OpenResty has been around since 2011 and it's had some pretty screaming fast benchmarks for quite awhile, yet it still sees little traction. Lapis is great, Lua is super simple to work with and a total pleasure as well, but it just doesn't seem to be gaining much traction.

There continually seems to be this belief that Lua is language only for game scripting; outside of that it is largely ignored.
