Newspeak PostgreSQL TCP protocol implementation

A Newspeak implementation of the PostgreSQL TCP wire protocol that enables talking to a GnuCash database from the Chrome web browser, built on the author's Newspeak TCP library. The implementation is described as bare minimum and probably very broken, but can already parse a Postgres result set from a simple query; a one-minute demo video shows result data printed to the console from a Newspeak workspace.

    “Writing a Newspeak implementation of the PostgreSQL TCP protocol!. Talking to a GnuCash database from Chrome web browser. Uses my Newspeak TCP library. Both are bare minimum, probably very broken, but I am able to parse a Postgres result set from a simple query.”
