I plan on using Python as the language of the prototype, since I've worked
  with Python the longest. However, I also want to implement this in Haskell,
  since I love Haskell.

* Functional Description
  This is the beginnings of a specification that will be implemented as a runnable specification later.
** Interface
   The main interface will be a RESTful web service defined with an
   OpenAPI Specification document. It will behave like a standard web server
   serving up static files.

   #+NAME: base sketch
   #+BEGIN_SRC yaml :exports none :tangle swagger.yaml :noweb yes
     openapi: 3.0.0
     info:
       title: Static
       description: >-
         a semi-dynamic database-as-documents web content management system
       version: 0.0.1

     paths:
       /documents:
         get:
           summary: Returns paths for all documents currently in the database
           description: >-
             This returns an 
   #+END_SRC

   I will leverage code generation tools to create the clients. According to the
   swagger code-gen docs, you can generate a Bash client, so that could cover a
   basic CLI as well.

   If front end or other graphical interfaces would benefit from a secondary
   protocol, we can add that later. The prototypes and alpha/beta versions will
   target the RESTful API only.

** Components
   These are the main components of static, starting from the HTTP service to
