I'm really excited about this project. I hope it succeeds.

Chicago Boss is compatible with one and only one database server: Tokyo Tyrant

Is there any good reason for that ?

Seems it's just due to it being a young project:

BossDB is a database abstraction layer used for querying and updating the database. Currently only Tokyo Tyrant is supported, but other drivers will be added in the future.

Erlang is the only language where event-driven applications do not need separate callback function for every network request.

Won't any language that can do continuations or coroutines also work?

Has anyone actually given it a shot? the current tokyo tyrant sources don't appear to be buildable?

The fix for this is to ignore the linux install directions for tokyocabinet and install as a source package (same as the mac install instructions if you're not sure what that means)
