Glancing over it, it's a little unfortunate (but not surprising, this *is* Microsoft) that they only mention CFML and CFScript for the development languages, but roll out the "over 25 languages" bit for support of ASP.NET. I can write Java to support CF applications, making it most definitely a language to develop CF in. Taking into account all the languages that can be *compiled* into Java bytecode (such as Jython, but there are bytecode compilers for Lisp, Prolog, even Logo (!)), and you have a huge list.
Of course, I'm preaching to the choir, but they missed a few salient points about CF that I, as a CF developer, would have included. - Jim Jesse Houwing wrote: >First it explains what both ASP.net and Coldfusion are and that they share a >similar background.
