Igropyr: A Fault-Tolerant Web Server Built in Pure Chez Scheme

A Erlang style pure Scheme Webserver and further

12guenchi💬 1

I built Igropyr, a web server in pure Chez Scheme that embraces the Erlang philosophy of letting crashes heal themselves. It features hot code swapping for zero-downtime updates, structured fault protocols that keep connections alive, and green processes that turn multi-request dialogues into single, stateful conversations. The system ensures that even a stuck worker never freezes the server, providing robust, self-healing performance out of the box.
