Crate backtalk

Backtalk is an experimental mini-library for writing asynchronous, realtime JSON web APIs served over HTTP. If you’re getting started, it’s probably easiest to dive into the examples in the examples folder, which should be well-documented with comments.

Backtalk is still being refined, but (especially once we build a database adapter for a proper database) it should be useful enough at this point to build real things with it! If you have feedback, comments, suggestions, pull requests, bug reports, they’d be much appreciated, since I don’t really know what I’m doing tbqh.
