I often use lgi, the Lua bingings to GLib and Gio (and other libraries
that support GObject Introspection, including Gtk). While it is
probably a huge overkill for simpler programs, it integrates really
well into Lua thanks to coroutines-based async operations and works
well on bigger projects.
Since lgi includes a lot of functional, this way networkning will play
nicely together with all of it, including file I/O, GUI via Gtk and
other ones.
