> You never know what CFX tags will do, and I recommend staying away 100%
from C++ cfx tags. 

Just because some programmers aren't responsible and don't clean up after
their code etc doesn't mean that all C++ CFX tags are bad. I use some third
party C++ tags every day and have no problems with them. 

What I did do however evaluate them first even if they were commercial tags
that I had to buy to get any access to... They didn't get onto the
production servers until I was happy with them after a thorough testing
programme.

Personally, I don't write my CFX tags in C++ as it's not my favourite
language... IMO there are far too many quick and dirty ways to do things in
C++ and because they are there people use and abuse them. I've used C and
C++ since my Amiga days in the late 80's early 90's where I used Lattice C
and I moved onto C++ when Lattice became SAS. I've also used Pascal variants
since Turbo Pascal 5 and have used every version of Delphi at some point or
another. In the mid 90's I was writing distributed Java based web-services
using RMI and a parallel descriptor language that looked a lot like XML
which I developed for my M.Phil. based around distributed ANN's running over
the Internet. When I was 8 I was writing 6502 assembler.

I think saying steer clear C++ CFX tags is an unfair generalisation. If the
tags are written well, they will serve you as well as a CFX tag written in
Java or Delphi or any other language that you can shoehorn into handling the
CFX API (there are a few I believe...). 

If you are going to say steer clear of C++ CFX tags, you may as well say
steer clear of most of the Operating systems in the world for they too were
written in C/C++...
