Sure -- I started with Jon's "Write a Web Server in 100 Lines" example, and then expanded it to handle POST (and HEAD) requests, and to serve up dynamically-created pages and handle the responses. Basically, once you have a web server running, it's pretty easy to make it do anything you'd do in Swordfish or any other web development tool.

Well... not exactly.

If you could write a simple web server and have it then be pretty easy to make it "do anything you'd do in Swordfish"... there wouldn't be any need at all for something like Swordfish. :)

From my very, very minuscule understanding of what Swordfish is... it does much, much more. Ease of development, the web-based user interface, a good development toolset, etc... those are all things that don't come "pretty easy" by just having a web server.


I am now convinced that Swordfish is vapourware.  It'll never be released.
