Yeah I wrote that in and then kind of coincidentally debunked it. Still, it feels true too often. With database connectivity, it's really not true. With object heavy development, performance still isn't there. If so, where are the benchmarks against php, python, Ruby, C#, JSP/JSF etc.? Obviously some of these platforms are much better than others in hard performance and in developer performance. Ruby for example is one extreme. Writing web servers and programming HTML with C++ is the other.
I don't want to call you out, but I do want to see the facts. And finally, I will tell you I don't do CF because it's the fastest boat on the ocean or because it can haul the biggest loads. I do it because it's the nicest cruising vessel around. She's plenty seaworthy, cap'n. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 11:27 AM, Raymond Camden <[email protected]>wrote: > > On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 3:07 AM, Nathan Strutz <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > As with most things in ColdFusion, you get convenience over performance. > > > > <puts on his Adobe hat... not that he ever takes if off> > Really?
