Don't know about Ruby numbers, but I think there are many more Python developers out there than CF developers. Python runs on more platforms than CF does. There are more Python books than CF books. There are more Python frameworks and tools than CF frameworks and tools. Thing is, Python is a general purpose programming language, whereas CF is a language for building web applications. So it's normal that Python is "more popular", just because it can be applied to solve more classes of problems. So, two things: 1) Compare like to like, or at least frame your argument - i.e. "Python or Ruby are not more popular than CF, for the purpose of building web applications." 2) Don't be such a fanboy. It's a tool, not a sect. /t -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cf-vs---tf2436859.html#a6832998 Sent from the Cold Fusion - Technical mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:256868 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
