I don't know about that. I can program in other languages that better fit the thought of programming: C, VB, etc.
However, I don't think there is a better web-development language than CF. It just fits perfectly. As with other non-tag-based languages, I HATE, HATE, HATE having to begin and end strings of text within and without tags, in SQL statements and everywhere else. I love being able to wrap any variable with ## and easily mix it with the HTML or SQL or CSS or whatever. That is the reason I think CF is better suited to web development than non-tag-based languages. Personally, I don't think the makers of ASP, PHP, etc have "got it" just yet. If they came out with tag-based versions of their languages, they would easily kick CF out of the picture if they remained free.

CF is expensive, the past owners have not been customer/user friendly and it has a lousy editor (DW). If PHP existed back when CF 2 or 3 existed, there would be no discussion, CF would not currently exist. My 2 cents. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:262346 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
