Goal is to strip the code down to the minimum that is needed for
writing high-performance soft-realtime server applications for

### Quotes

Here are some borrowed words to put this branch into context:

> Personal Mastery: If a system is to serve the creative spirit, it
> must be entirely comprehensible to a single individual. _Dan
> Ingalls_
> The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size
> of his own skull. _E.W. Dijkstra_
> Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
> Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
> by definition, not smart enough to debug it. _Brian Kernighan_
> Optimal code is not optimal to maintain. _Vyacheslav Egorov_
> I'm outta here in a couple of days. Good luck. You'll need it.
