How so? I wrote a framework (that I need to put up somewhere) that works
fine with coroutines. In fact, it launches a new Lua coroutine everytime a
new TCP connection is made, with each Lua "thread" handling a connection and
it's driven completely from C. In fact, here's a working script:
function main(socket)
socket:write(socket:read("*a"))
return main(socket)
end
(it's an echo service).
