Goodness. Trash everything? How do you manage to do web development in
ColdFusion when you have to remember HTML, CFML, _javascript_, and maybe
some webserver configuration to boot?

I was thinking about this just the other day. I'm trying to learn
Italian for an upcoming trip to Tuscany, and it would be so much easier
if they could just all speak English. After all, a lot of their words
do convey the same concepts. I would like to be able to communicate
clearly with Italians while I'm traveling, but why do I need another
way to say "good morning"?

Like when you realized that "stage" == "screen".

Like that CF plugin for Eclipse?

Hmm. Maybe I haven't had enough caffeine yet...
