Depends on what one is doing, of course. RevServer and RevCGI are so
similar that there's relatively little effort to translate
going from one to the other.
Include statements, open puts, and other sugar can be coded into a
preprocessor library in under an hour (I had occasion to write a limited
version of this for the revJournal.com blog which needed on-rev0like
behaviors but had to remain hosted in my own DreamHost account long
before RevServer was made available for other ISPs). Outside of those
enhancements to the merge function, the rest of the engine is nearly the
same.
Not all of us have the libraries for automated translation of RevTalk to
JavaScript and PHP. :)
Using RevTalk with the CGI engine I have a deployment used by hundreds
of medical clinics around the world that's been holding up well under
the load, all RevTalk top to bottom, including a custom search engine
which would have taken much longer to write from scratch in anything
else. With Rev CGI we just took the code we wrote for an earlier
desktop version, made some minor mods to output HTML instead of plain
text, and dropped it on the server.
I can't speak for RevServer, but Rev CGI is pretty solid, very
efficient, and lets folks who use RevTalk write a lot of useful stuff
very quickly.
