Being able to interact with an electrical system in a building through a
web server? Hmmm.... why would you EVER want to be able to do that?
Forget about doing this in a house, think about an apartment building or
a massive government building. Being able to know when lights burn out,
or who is entering what room, or when there is a burst pipe, or a simple
fuse blown out all through the web, all interacting with a single
server.
Building management companies could manage dozens of buildings across
dozens of cities and know when to dispatch people within minutes or even
seconds of something breaking.
That's huge man.
Why WOULDN'T CF want to be the first web server language that really
dove
into this area? That's ridiculous.
