>> Ah yes, the old "use Java when CF can't do it crutch." Huh? So suggesting mixing VB.NET and C# to squeeze more power from a .NET app that is what, a crutch? And what about writing straight Java when JSP can't do enough?
Sorry, that argument is just plain silly. No single language or tool does it all, nor should it. That's why you get to mix tools and languages and technologies. >> I though the whole point of CF was to make it easy for >> developers to develop. Correct. But depending on what you are building you may need to step beyond CF. That is not a limitation, it is good design. Why do you think we introduced the ability to extend CF (originally using C/C++) back in CF2 in 1996? >From C, then COM, then Java, then CORBA, then more Java, then SOAP ... do you see a pattern? I have been saying this for years, and I'll keep saying it, the best CF apps are the ones not written purely in CF, and the most important part of CF development is knowing when not to use CF (heck, I wrote a column on this over 5 years ago!). Hummm, why do I suspect that those who complain most about CF not scaling are the ones violating this basic concept? --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Kwang Suh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 1:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF vs ASP.NET!

Ah yes, the old "use Java when CF can't do it crutch." I though the whole point of CF was to make it easy for developers to develop. And everything else is hard/takes longer/is more expensive. So why do I want to use something hard like Java to do something in CF? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187422 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
