x = x + 1
mathematically it makes absolutely no sense since there is an inequality problem. what you are really saying *mathematically* is:
x' = x + 1
Ive seen a few Computer Science text books that dont like the x = x + 1 syntax and write it as x <- x + 1
I learned programming first in Basic & then java at uni. when i first came to work with CF i found the whole GTE thing really annoying, but now i acutally find it quite good.
If cfscript was made ECMA compliant, how would the tag-based operators work ?
<cfif x > y >
</cfif>
?? im sure that isnt valid xml.

Congrats, Sean. You can rattle off a list of moderately-obscure to very-obscure programming languages. And it's a mighty fine strawman.
Are you seriously expecting us to believe people who might be coding in those languages either never did maths at school, or have never used other languages which use the standard operators?

Interesting reading.
It's not snobbery mate. What did you learn in grade school... ">=" or "GTE"? What the *hell* does "GTE" mean to anyone other than CF developers?
See above. Lots of people learned languages that use GTE or something very similar.
Per head of people coding in the world today... which is going to be more familiar to people: <= or "LTE"?
How many people who cut their teeth on Algol 60, ADL, ABAP, BLISS (etc) are going to be diving into the CF arena any time soon?
I think your argument kinda works more in my favour than yours, to be honest.
