There was a previous discussion of the 200 line TCP/IP stack on hacker news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=846028

I believe most of the code is visible in the linked article. The packet diagrams were redone but are very nearly identical to the RFCs, just some minor formatting tweaks. They are very readable.

The compiler (in OMeta) is a very BNF like grammar.

The readability is striking. The first time I heard of it, I was expecting it to be extra dense and hard to parse. It turns out they have entire lines of just separators counting against their limit, which seems useless until you realize one of the main goals is readability.

Incredible work, I'm looking forward to the end result.
