A word of warning: if you require fancy graphically oriented development
environments, you will be sorely disappointed in the Sway Programming
System. Sway is programming at its simplest: a prompt at which you type
in expressions which the Sway interpreter evaluates. Of course, you can
create Sway programs
using your favorite text editor (mine is vim).
Sway can be used as a scripting language, as well.
Installing Sway
Procedures for downloading and installing Sway can be found at http://sway.cs.ua.edu.
Running Sway
In a terminal window (DOS box on MS Windows), simply type the command:
sway
and press the <Enter> key. You should be rewarded with the Sway prompt.
