Chris, I would be wary of using cfscript just for supposed performance gains over tags. My understanding is that those gains were eliminated (or reduced to the point of insignificance) in CF 6.x and 7.x. Here are what I see as the pros and cons of cfscript. These points are largely a matter of preference:
Pros of cfscript -- more readable -- less typing -- more like other languages (Java, JavaScript) - sometimes can copy Java snippets and they function with little modification in cfscript Cons -- many pieces of cf functionality do not exist in cfscript (e.g. throw, dump, abort) or are awkward (looping over queries) - we have a CFScript.cfm include with functions like Throw(), Dump(), Abort() to get around this, but for cfquery we always use tags -- might be inconsistent with other code written in tags; I like to see consistency throughout an application Jon > I was told by some members of my local CFUG that > writing code within CFScript tags whenever possible is faster (performance > wise), so I'm giving it a go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
