We've discussed that one on and off for a while, I personally like the idea a lot.
But, hypothetical question, CFMX supports server-side ActionScript (which is, for all intents and purposes, JavaScript). Right now ASR files are very limited (essentially exposing <CFQUERY> and <CFHTTP> only), but perhaps those could be beefed up to allow a alternate scripting syntax for CF development? This is good dialog, lots of folks are thinking about the next CF so the time is right to be having these chats. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Joe Eugene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 10:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFML standardization (was RE: BlueDragon (was RE: How is CFMX J2EE implemented?)) Ben, CFScript.. looks and adopts some good features of Java/C++.. why not allow CFScript.. to have a strong language type? atleast as an optional coding style...for those who want it....
