Summary

ymawky is a web server written entirely in ARM64 assembly language, designed for macOS on Apple Silicon. It is a syscall-only, no-libc, fork-per-connection server built by hand. The project requires Xcode Command Line Tools and only runs on Apple Silicon (arm64). It aims to be portable but will likely need tweaks for Linux/other Unix systems.
