Right. I was talking about why _I_ generally don't like cfscript.
But, honestly, if they don't really know how to do anything in javascript,
then I'm not sure what they're doing writing CFML (or any web application
development language).

You might be surprised at how many people I come across in the industry who
are making a good solid living writing CF apps but barely can write CSS,
HTML, JavaScript and really even much in regards to SQL. Quite often
though they are using some sort of CF framework or other core tool that

As of CF9, the vast majority of CF can be written in script, if you
desire. Almost every tag has a cfscript equivalent (I believe there were a
few that didn't make the cut, but I can't recall which ones off-hand). Of
course, some things are a bit more tedious doing them in script (such as
Agreed and someone could always write themselves some custom functions as

My main issue with cfscript is that it's easy to confuse at first glance
between that and javascript (for cases when you have JS mixed in with CF
code, as the legacy app I work on at work has). So, it's not really
cfscript's fault as much as a personal bugaboo.

cfscript to many defeats the who point of why they chose cf in the first
place, because it was a html like easy to learn tag based language.
When you go down the route of doing all your code in script, using OOP
style coding, then surely you would just be better off writing directly in
JAVA ?
Well, nobody's better off writing in Java, but C# would be an alternative.

The people I was referring to I am certain do not know how to write

Hi Cameron. I know CF very well. I been coding in it for many years. But,
I admit, I am a little tagged out.
Cfscript feels more elegant, and as I learn more and more javascript, it
seems a natural time to try to get completely up to speed on cfscript.
I do wish Adobe would fill out CF so

Just becareful with mimicing cfinclude. I would hestitate to say that
cfscript block would bring you any performance gains under CFMX due to the
compiling.
Do your own speed test:
test.cfm:
cfset begin = getTickCount()
cfset finalIndx = 0
cfloop index=indx from=1 to=100
does anyone have a good cfscript book to recommend?
