summary
Progress report on Toccata with concrete results not promises: the repo now builds a minimal HelloWorld and the compiler compiles to C and LLVM, the demo shows a working TCP-based web server that parses HTTP via a grammar implemented as a HTTP grammar as free applicative turned into a recursive descent parser, sockets and connections use a maybe protocol and reference counting GC, concurrency uses futures and promises, persistent maps ported from Clojure, and a simple file browser served over HTTP works.
