> Lua is not asynchronous. JavaScript has lots of asynchronicity, but we don’t support asynchronicity. That’s something we still have to have to implement because it’s not supported out of the box as part of the Java interpreter and virtual machine that we use. We have to build the event loop that’s the foundation for the asynchronicity. We still have that project ahead of us. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01fddq0f8tb99x0rqhkgj1jcfx))
> I would say globally. The reason why the AGPL license was originally created, as far as I know at least, was to try to prevent this perceived loophole that existed in GPL, where you could access GPL license components over a network. That would make effectively the larger work built on top of this GPL component, not having to be open source itself under the same license, so voiding the virality of the license. They added this clause in the AGPL version of GPL Version 3 that states that if you are accessing this component over the network, it will also be infected with that virality of the license.
