rsyscall VS firefly-boot

Can you say what left you confused?

I'm surprised, I thought https://github.com/catern/rsyscall is pretty self-contained and self-explanatory (if unclear on what exactly rsyscall is useful for), and I thought http://catern.com/integration.html is quite detailed (perhaps excessively so).

That's one of the things I use this kind of primitive for in https://github.com/catern/rsyscall

Firefly, curly braces:

I'm still working on Firefly, a language with first class capabilities.

Since there's no other way for `deleteDirectory` to obtain capabilities than to recieve them as arguments, `deleteDirectory` only has access to the file system.

I can share an example from the main function of the [self hosting Firefly compiler](https://github.com/Ahnfelt/firefly-boot/tree/master/compiler):

    main(system: System): Unit {

I'm working on Firefly, which will compile to JS once bootstrapping is complete (almost there).

Still working on typechecking Firefly with the help of a friend.

Working on the type inference for Firefly. I don't have a lot of free time at the moment, so it's coming along slowly.

Firefly uses object capabilities for enforcing purity:

In Firefly, this is done without macros:

Firefly - self hosting, working on the type inference.
