Hmmm does BD parse/translate to a proprietry language before it goes to MSIL and on to the CLR? Wouldn't the .NET version simple be J#?

CFMX 7 compiles the CFML directly to byteocde (to run on the JVM). I'm not sure exactly how Railo works - I suspect it compiles directly to bytecode. I believe BlueDragon used to compile to a proprietary intermediate code which was then interpreted but they may have changed their implementation these days. It would make sense for their .NET version to compile directly to IL to run on the CLR. It will be interesting to see what they do in light of the recent announcement of the DLR from Microsoft - it would certainly make sense for them to create a DLR-specific version of BlueDragon since it provides a even tighter integration with other languages running on the CLR... The point (of all the above) is that CFML is a *compiled* language these days. I don't know about Smith Project but, again, I suspect it compiles directly to bytecode?
