I think most of the speed benefits are gone with CF5. My only problem with
cfscript is the inability to instantiate a tag object and the lack of normal
operators (++, &, this...). For the bulk of my code, I usually stick to tags
because there may be someone who doesn't understand cfscript reading my code
at some time in the future. However, when I write code where I am heavily
manipulating data, whether it be an array, structure, or just a big string,
I use cfscript almost religously. In cases like that, the keyboard mileage
savings is wonderful :)
For example, I wrote this yesterday...it just makes more sense as cfscript
imho. The rest of the template is a ton of cf/html tags, it's all about
isolating that logic :)
<cfscript>
variants = structNew();
for (i = 1; i LTE v.recordCount; i = i + 1) {
if (NOT structKeyExists(variants, v.varGroupID[i])) {
variants[v.varGroupID[i]] = structNew();
variants[v.varGroupID[i]]['groupName'] = v.vGroup[i];
}
if (NOT structKeyExists(variants[v.varGroupID[i]], 'values')) {
variants[v.varGroupID[i]]['values'] = structNew();
}
variants[v.varGroupID[i]]['groupSort'] = v.groupSort[i];
variants[v.varGroupID[i]]['values'][v.varLabel[i]] = v.variantSort[i];
}
writeOutput(arrayToList(structSort(variants[2]['values'])));
</cfscript>
