Same conversation, different street corner. And drinking at noon doesn't
make you a hedonist, necessarily; it could make you a sot. Maybe you're
drinking your troubles away?

I think it's futile to construct the CF platform so that it'll please Java
developers. CFML is thought of as a "toy" language now by that camp. Why
would someone who wants to write in an OO environment consider CF at all?
For that matter, CF has been thought of as a toy since its inception;
everybody who used something else was always happy to disparage CF in favor
of (Java/ASP/PHP/Perl/fill-in-the-blank). And, CF has almost always been a
better solution than those alternatives. I'm happy to continue playing with
CF, as long as it can be used to deliver solutions better, faster, and
cheaper than the competition.
