" Could you imagine running these students through php, or .net code for

Yes, ... with ease. I teach a varity of web languages. It really doesn't
make a big difference which language I choose, people get the basics of
all languages in almost the same amount of time.
I find a < b better to read than a GT b. As well as if(){}else
if(){}else{} than <cfif><cfelseif><cfelse></cfif>.
It is just a matter of personal experience, and feeling with the syntax
of the language. It is not so strange a lot of CF folks like CFSCRIPT.
It is because the syntax is more C like.

Oh... You mean there is an advantage to doing a preso or writing a
program where others can read and understand the code without a lot of
comments or explanation?
Seriously, "CF for presos" is another great argument!
Over the years (lotsa' years) I have written many
papers/proposals/articles/documentation where I need to supply an
example code snippet. Never thought much about it, but it is a lot
easier to illustrate and discuss the code when it is written in CF!
(Now, APL... There was a real-man's programming language. You could
write an entire application in one long (very long) line of code. (At
least that was the implied Challenge). Only problem is that it used
RPN, so you had to think backwards or inside-out. And, by the time you
got to the end of the line you forgot what you were doing :)
Another CF strong point is this: It is very easy to slap together a
prototype or a demo with CF.. Including creating/populating a database
from a text file, an excel ss, or the customer's MS-Access db. I've
done this many times-- takes a few hours or days, but you show the
customer his app using his data -- it is meaningful to him, When you
win the contract, you can often go back and flesh-out the prototype to
implement the production solution.
