I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that article calls out PHP as a specific target (but I agree with your conclusion anyway, to some extent, about server-side JS being potentially ubiquitous if the right people in the industry manage to collaborate in the same direction - although we saw a mess of politics around ECMAScript 3 vs ECMAScript 4 didn't we? :) JS is by far one of the most broadly known and broadly supported languages the computing world has ever seen, no matter what it's faults (and it certainly does have its faults). I find it rather ironic that the comments on that article show the same sort of love/hate flaming that CFML tends to get when discussed outside the CF community :) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies US -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en !! save a network - please trim replies before posting !!
