My opinion is just the opposite.
the Event Gateway decouples a cfmx app from the browser -- that means:
1) you can run a cf app anywhere that meets the requirements
2) The CF developer will be able to apply the CF advantages to a much,
much broader range of applications (web and non-web)
3) There are a lot of non-browser things you need to do when setting up
and running an application (define db tables, prime db with initial
data, backup databases, backup the site, dump/check-out portions of the
data for off-line processing, etc). You could kluge together a
solution using CFMs and a browser, but many of these repetitive tasks
don't need (or are hampered by) a browser interface. Better to have a
decoupled language with the power of CFML
CFML isn't perfect (yet) but it is superior to any scripting (and most
programming) languages that I have used (and I have used a few). I
would like to see CFML become the lingua franca of scripting languages.
Now, where can I get a JVM for my iPod?
