(author here) I'm just adding data-race free parallelism support to this right now to switch my website over to using it! For those familiar with OCaml syntax, the OxCaml parse function is fun:

    val parse : buffer -> len:int -> #(status * request * header list) @ local
This takes in a buffer and returns an unboxed tuple on the stack, so there's no GC activity involved beyond stack management for each HTTP request.

Interesting parser, fun to read.

Oh I got the joke! (I'm pretty sure it was intended)

Yes a parser is a fun to read ;)

Doesn't (honest question) the operating system kernel prevent data races in memory accesses at the level of system calls like brk? I wonder at what level the operating system handles such things?

I mean, aren't system calls thread-safe?
