Sure -- I started with Jon's "Write a Web Server in 100 Lines"

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.
Never say never ;-)
Anyway, have a look at Ruby and Ruby on Rails, it's a great language
and a very good framework for web development.
