Introducing Fly Edge Apps

We actually started experimenting with nginx + Lua way at the beginning. It was a great way to build a poc.

v8 is fast, surprisingly so. In an http request/response cycle you can write and awful lot of JavaScript logic in v8 without adding perceptible latency.

We have a small office in Chicago, but are mostly distributed. :)

I just watched your presentation at NWCJS. I was aware that Node was just the ES api implementations on top of v8 and libuv, but your presentation elucidated the exact mechanisms behind the Fly runtime and actually the Node runtime as well.

Seems like y'all are in a good position to expand the native bindings and add some of the more experimental ES proposals faster than Node. Got any details on the Fly roadmap?
