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. :)
Well, that's exactly my point. There really isn't any need for
something like Swordfish; it just makes it a bit easier by doing the
initial legwork for you. But for any serious web app, you're going
to be putting a lot more work into the things that make your app
unique than into the general serving-up-web-pages stuff anyway.
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.
Well, I probably have a somewhat clearer understanding of what
Swordfish is, and my take is: it'll be handy and neat, but it's not
necessary to wait for it. If you need to make a web app, go make one
today. When Swordfish comes along, you can take all your
app-specific code and plunk it into a Swordfish project if you like.
Best,
