That would make ColdFusion quite a different language! :) Yes, it's certainly one possible approach, allowing the user to declare variables with a type (and extending the CF types to include "integer" would also be a useful enhancement, instead of just "numeric" and "binary" ). I actually prefer the code analysis approach since it allows CFMX's compiler to evolve without requiring users to change their code and could substantially speed up certain constructs in legacy code.
