Lactoserv: Lactoserv is a web server / web application server, written in JavaScript using Node, and first published in 2023. It is a deployable experiment in seeing just how far one can go in terms of directly serving network traffic (specifically HTTP-ish protocols, for now) in Node, with minimal intermediation. It is actively run in production on a small number of public-facing websites, including this one.

Lactoserv is also intended as a basis for prototyping high-level operating system services. Watch this space!
