It could give all of those dead or dying languages new life: <cfscript language="Apple Basic">
But seriously, the ability to add multiple language interpreters would be a 'killer app'. -----Original Message----- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 10:16 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Run PHP (or Ruby) code inline on a Coldfusion page So in CF9 should be expect <cfscript> tag to have a language argument and we just specify what language we'll be pasting in?

Here's the official project page: http://scripting.riaforge.org/ I have Ruby running inside CF8 as well as PHP now. > I don't know what the speed is (probably not as fast as the native zend > interpreter, but still...PHP code mixed in with CF code is pretty kick ass. I'm working on leveraging the javax.script.* CompiledScript machinery which should allow for script caching and one-time compilation which should make it much faster than the current Alpha version of scripting. > I read that someone else has done the same thing for Ruby. Same someone. Me. I'll be adding the capability to run Python, Groovy and Haskell "soon". Maybe awk, Scheme and Tcl later, maybe others. Essentially all of the languages that are listed on Sun's Scripting project page. This all relies on the javax.script.* package introduced in Java 6 (which CF8 uses). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280011 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
