Glowing Bear is helpful on mobile devices without hardware keyboards, still.

I use tup in my web projects to monitor my folders for things to "compile". This includes CoffeScript, MoonScript, SASS/SCSS, Less and more. Very fast and painless.

Here's relevant nginx configuration to disable SSLv3:

  ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
  ssl_ciphers EECDH+AES128:RSA+AES128:EECDH+AES256:RSA+AES256:EECDH+3DES:RSA+3DES:EECDH+RC4:RSA+RC4:!MD5;
  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
This ciphersuite is recommended by CloudFlare.

I haven't benchmarked the mysql drivers, so results might be different there.

There's some work being done by openresty author w.r.t. ffi for openresty itself, it might yield interesting results. And yes, I think both the option you listed are viable. But the lua drivers already perform very well.

I benchmarked the pure postgresql lua driver to be ˜3 times as fast as the nginx-postgresql-c driver. When you use the nginx drivers from a lua context you have to use an internal nginx request to that location, so there's some overhead.

If you want to improve even further on the lua drivers, LuaJIT FFI is probably the right answer.
