Michael isn't sure that servlets are the best way to deal with web requests, so he's exploring pragmas (or tags) as a way of approaching the problem. Here's a snippet of his post; I encourage you to read the whole thing:

So I got thinking about pragmas again - or as Travis wants to call them: "tags". I thought, what if I could just make one class and put all these adhoc response methods in there using tags. So I've come up with a couple of tags you can put in to a subclass of HttpServerTags.TagServer.

 

static_content
       <get: #('test.txt')>
       <string: 'text/plain'>
       ^'Hello World'

In this simple example we say that we respond to a GET request with path of /test.txt and our content type is text/plain. When we request the page, we get back a string of Hello World. Pretty simple and to the point.

The other examples are far more interesting; head on over and check it out
