Thanks for the feedback! This is very helpful, and I'll be sure to fix these things as soon as I get home from work!

Extension-less files should work fine as an alternative to index.ext pages :) The purpose of index in the demo was to show QuickServ behavior. I like the idea about using calculate.py if there are no other naming collisions for /calculate

As for the query parsing, here is a suggestion: couldn’t you convert that in shell argv automatically? If “name=foo&email=bar” becomes “--name=foo --email=bar” then devs can just use regular argv parsing utils from the language, and the same script can work both from the command line and under QuickServ

I spent a long time thinking about how to do query parsing and have been dissatisfied with what I could come up with.

This is the perfect solution! Thank you so much!

This is a lovely idea.
