[cfaussie] Re: Where have all the CF developers gone?

[Dale Fraser]

Sad, so sad.   I have to say, that if CF 8 isn’t oo and doesn’t have break point debugging, I too will be moving all our development to .NET   The cost is an issue to some, but for me it’s the language and tools that hurts the most. PHP, JSP & .NET are Free full OO, with break point debugging. CF is much more rapid for development which may justify the not free bit, but there is no excuse for the lack of OO and break point bits.   Why even wait for CF8? Well there is a bit of me that hopes they make CF fully CFSCRIPT available, with more OO and break point debugging and I know they are thinking about these issues. But I’m mainly wanting to see which way they go. If CF8 comes out as lots more Flash & Flex stuff, then I’m on the wrong ship.   We need a language that is not only quick and easy to develop in, but also easy to debug and maintain long term.   PS: Non CF people looking at code like <cfloop from=”1” just turn their nose up at the language. If CF supported <CFSCRIPT syntax for everything, then this would not be an issue. Ie for (i=0; i<10; i++) is familiar across languages.

Hi Jeremy very funny cfdump joke now if pricing is simply the only reason for changeing why not php or 1 of the many other free languages over .net? you already said they are using windoze, so no use me saying cf on linux may be cheaper then .net on windoze :S M@ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
