[ANN] LuaExec - recursive multitasking for Lua

["Timm S. Mueller" <tmueller@...>]

LuaExec is another take on multitasking for Lua. 

http://luaexec.neoscientists.org/

It is mainly focused on general applicability, simplicity and concise
semantics. It provides multiple threads of execution in the most
abstract sense, behaving understandably, platform-independently and
unencumbered by OS specific details. Demarcation:

- is a regular module using only the legal Lua API
- should work with Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and LuaJIT on POSIX and Windows
- runs a Lua interpreter per task
- recursive, a child task itself can require the module and run childs
- data exchange using messages, signals, arguments and return values
- allows to synchronize on: task completion, signals, messages
- abstract signals: a, t, c, m (abort, terminate, child, message)
- tasks can find each other by name or by parent
- no shared data, no marshalling, this is currently left to the user
- child tasks are subject to garbage collection
- underlying OS threads are always joined and never killed forcibly
- small HTTP server included as an example

Your feedback welcome,
