In addition to fixing what doesn't work ( although hopefully the new Service
Pack system will improve a lot of these )....
User Functions !!!! More access to the <cftag> stuff from within
<cfscript>..
eg.
<cfscript>
if (a == 1) cflocation('http://www.slashdot.org');
</cfscript>
Better and more consistant Regexs (ie: inline with perl etc...)
Better memory management when using large structures.
but every language has it's problems .... :-)

I agree with that , and I'm looking forward to it. Min's just annoyed
he'll have to rewrite all his tags :-)
It will be interesting to see how the ColdFusion community develop with Java
in the mix.
It would be a pity if the newbies get alienated.
