Scott, Air has it's own language for development - scripting very like actionscript. It doesn't parse CF tags. It doesn parse JSP tags or PHP tags either. It's not designed as a "many language-single runtime" engine (ala ..NET). However, just like Flex, CF is a great back end for AIR to use in interactions with other services like databases and external files etc.

Meaning that the purpose behind AIR is to make portable Desktop apps out of web apps (as I understand it, from my brief research). When you do this don't you negate any built in ColdFusion functionality. Or have they built a ColdFusion parser into AIR?
