Turbo's code seems very beautiful to me. Before finding this, I saw web servers as either a big-black-box, coded in a hard to grok systems language (Apache and Nginx), or as a testing tool written in a slow, but readable scripting language (Python or PHP). Now, I can dive into a fast, robust, and easy to read web server (and client) to see nearly every bit of functionality. Lua continues to impress and strike me as a great language for web development.
