Tha last thing I read from Gartner told business managers to migrate away from CF, Python etc to J2EE or .NET as the others were "niche products."

I watched an "app server shootout" video on sys-con.tv the other day and the Burton Group mentioned research they had just done that showed as much as a 5X productivity increase when using a "P" language (PHP, Python, Perl) over Java. Granted this stuff is pretty tough to nail down because there are so many variables, but I assume they wouldn't publish a study like this if it was completely baseless. Unfortunately I couldn't find the report on their web site; it might be a "member's only" thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:196531 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
