With std::function and lambdas, you can create producer/consumer libraries
that approach the elegance and conciseness of Node.js. :P

I agree with some others on this thread: the sweet spot for me is with C and
Lua. And if you implement your libraries and modules carefully, they can
work equally well in projects using either Lua, C, or C++ as the core
language or event driver.
