title: Why use Mongrel2?
body: <p>I'm confused what purpose <strong><a href="http://mongrel2.org">Mongrel2</a></strong> serves/provides that <strong><a href="http://nginx.org">nginx</a></strong> doesn't already do.</p>
  
  <p><em>(Yes, I've read the <a href="http://mongrel2.org/static/mongrel2-manual.html">manual</a> but I must to be too much of a noob to understand how it's fundamentally different than nginx)</em></p>
  
  <p>My current web application stack is: <br>
  - <strong>nginx</strong>: webserver <br>
  - <strong>Lua</strong>: programming language <br>
  - <strong>FastCGI + LuaJIT</strong>: to connect nginx to Lua <br>
  - <strong>Postgres</strong>: database</p>
