Making Posterous faster with Varnish page caching
I really love Varnish, but hate VCL. I wish they'd have embedded Lua or something. There's all sorts of cool stuff you could do with better scripting.

I think the unique point about VCL is that it compiles down to machine code. Varnish makes a big thing about doing things the fastest way possible.

VCL is actually one of the strong points of varnish, if you have a more complex situation you can pull all kinds of tricks without slowing down.
