I think it's interesting that they chose C++ as their "assembler". There is Caucho which implements PHP on top of the JVM but I don't know how well it works (I highlighted as part of my "Scripting for ColdFusion" project some years back, as a way of embedding PHP fragments in CFML pages and running them). On a sort of related note, given that many languages compile to Java bytecode these days, the Clojure project team (a modern Lisp on the JVM) has just released ClojureScript which is effectively a version of Clojure that compiles to JavaScript and can use the Google Closure Compiler / Library to create very small, highly optimized JS for use in the browser or on Node.js. You might not have consider JS as "assembler" either, unless you follow Scott Hanselman's blog: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/JavaScriptIsAssemblyLanguageForTheWebSematicMarkupIsDeadCleanVsMachinecodedHTML.aspx http://www.hanselman.com/blog/JavaScriptIsAssemblyLanguageForTheWebPart2MadnessOrJustInsanity.aspx The net result is the ability to write all of your web application code in a dialect of Clojure, on the server and on the client - and even give yourself the choice of Node.js or the JVM as the backend platform. There are even libraries for generating both CSS and HTML from pure Clojure if you feel inclined. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346377 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

"Myspace failed because it was full of ugly sites with content no-one wanted to read." Absolutely. And to add to it - then came along an alternative, facebook, which was not "full of ugly sites with content no-one wanted to read." So myspace failed.

Re: Its ColdFusion's Fault
I guess when Google+ finally destroys Facebook, the same open source tools he's glorifying will have caused that failure. Regardless, Myspace hasn't run on CF for a long time (as suggested, they migrated to .NET via BlueDragon ages ago). Myspace failed because it was full of ugly sites with content no-one wanted to read. -- WSS4CF - WS-Security framework for CF http://wss4cf.riaforge.org/ On 26 July 2011 18:00, Kevin Pepperman wrote: > > Just to add to that-- ColdFusion is responsible for the success of Bank of > America as well as many other successful websites (well one of the reasons > anyway ;-) > > Didn't MySpace convert to .NET at some point? > > -- > /Kevin Pepperman > > "*Never memorize what you can look up in books*." > --Albert_Einstein > > > ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346328 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Its ColdFusion's Fault
Just to add to that-- ColdFusion is responsible for the success of Bank of America as well as many other successful websites (well one of the reasons anyway ;-) Didn't MySpace convert to .NET at some point? -- /Kevin Pepperman "*Never memorize what you can look up in books*." --Albert_Einstein ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346327 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
