Fusebox will never just be ColdFusion. Fusebox is made of a bunch of ideas
creating a powerful framework. We started with CF, but there have been Fusebox
ports to PHP and JSP. CFCs are proprietary to CF, and will most likely remain
proprietary. Which is one reason I'm not personally bending over backwards for
CFCs. What happens when you realize CFCs don't do something you want in your
framework? Are you going to decompile CFMX? Probably not.

A goal of Fusebox is to create an open framework across technologies. Along with
create an open development methodology based on the framework (FLiP). Combining
the framework and the methodology and you've got a killer solution to many
common development problems.

CFCs may end up being just another implementation of Fusebox. As long as the
implementation can achieve what the Fusebox spec states, then great, let's give
it a shot. Until then, CFCs will plug in perfectly with Fusebox without changing
Fusebox at all.

Fusebox is not trying to create the end all be all syntax for writing web
software. We're trying to reduce the awful 70% software failure rate. For many,
many, many people Fusebox has succeeded in doing this, it definitely has for me.
