The one everlasting rule of thumb is that you can produce complete crap using any language. ;^) There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a favorite. Personally I don't see any of the languages as being head-and-shoulders above the others. I'll never have a problem with anybody saying they prefer one language over another. I just know that I can code most things cleaner and quicker in CF. I generally won't comment on how easy or hard another language is (especially one that I barely know). In my company however this is the norm: we moved away from CF almost purely on the say-so of the Java programmers like the one I mentioned and their assertions that Java was "easier" to work with. In short they produced complete crap and blamed the language. Sounds like you're working with the results of that kind of thinking. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:207542 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
