I dont think anyone with enough knowledge says Java is slow :) In fact, .NET currently is slower than Java which is pretty funny compared to the wrapper (around win32) .NET actually is, compared to Java which has to do all on his own. (btw.. benches: http://www.shudo.net/jit/perf/).
Nobody using CF currently dislikes the language, nor is forced to use CF. I do think the average quality of CF applications is much lower compared to the quality of .NET apps. It is directly related to the learning curve (and principles of OO languages) and companies tend to think they hire real professionals when aiming at .NET as opposed to a CF or PHP. I just think alot of people are scared about the immense .net approach companies are taking nowadays, and therefore people want to push Macromedia to invest in CF as a core product and to use it's marketing on CF and publicly promote their product. Combine that with bad economy and fear of losing your job due to lack of .net knowledge and you have "bingo". I think people only switch from CF if they are forced to by company stategy changes, or general opportunities with CF in their country. CF in my country isn't very popular compared to the US, and alot of people don't even know it exists. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187294 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
