I&#x27;m surprised to see lua, and to see 1.6 released so quickly. 1.5 took forever to finalize and SSL termination was heavily debated because it wasn&#x27;t a fast or lightweight like the original goal of HAProxy was.  While I realize I don&#x27;t have to use the lua scripts, it just feels out of place.<p>EDIT: I guess part of my concern with Lua was the example on the linked article.  It seems to be able to interface with most of the system and not just as a content source, which makes more sense.
