Redis Lua eval and pubsub - send a command on a message?

Question

Is it possible to use lua evaluation to hang out and listen to a pubsub channel, replying with a command on a certain message?

Edit: Seems pubsub has been implemented. I'm a little unclear on how to approach this (lua green). https://github.com/nrk/redis-lua/issues/7

No, subscribe is not allowed in scripts. Scripts are executed in the same event loop as everything else in redis, meaning, while your script is executing no other commands get executed.

Further, the library you are linking to is a lua client library. Here is the relevant documentation for lua scripting in redis.
