From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does Apache have something like nginx's OpenResty? That may be a significant benefit too.
Maybe mod_lua is an equivalent? I haven't used OpenResty so there may be something I'm missing.
It looks to be similar. I'm not sure how trivial it is to add this. For nginx it's basically built in. You just give it the Lua code. It's also pretty capable. You can basically write a whole API back-end in it, which is pretty good for small APIs or functionalities, like an image resizing API.
