Lapis solves a different problem of how to have a single threaded lua do things asynchronously. Our problem is different in that we need to do multi-threading safely. The key thing is that the callbacks are being used differently. In lapis callbacks would have been used similar to node where the purpose is to allow the server to do something else whilst waiting for whatever you where waiting for to finish. What we use callbacks for is scoping locks as lua does not provide any other way to do it.
