Asynchronous API for single threaded language have proven to be pretty efficient and fast, it's what has leaded node.js to a big success.

So, maybe it would be better tu use [luvit](https://github.com/luvit/luvit) as a core lua engine, for using asynchronous APIs (file, network, etc.) rather than current synchronous ones ?

I guess it would hugely simplify and lighten the code, and, at the sime time, able to provide a better performing tool for ROS.
