Lets face it, not everyone is going to agree that scripting languages are programming languages. I personally think that programming languages encompass scripting languages as well (I have a C++ background as well as others.. PERL, CF, JAVA, etc..). I tend to notice that people who know C++/JAVA/etc... ALONG with CF tend to side with those who think that CF is not a programming language for the simple reason that they would like to stand out from others.. the "1 up" attitude. I think this is ridiculous. It's simple, there is no definitive answer. I can do many things with C++ I can not do with CF and vice versa....... now whats the difference?
Lets move on to a more useable discussion. -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 1:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: programmer vs. developer If you consider yourself a programmer because you write cfml then you're saying cfml is a programming language?

A developer is someone who uses a scripting language like CF. This is a totally artificial distinction and one I reject on every level. I program. So do you.
