Better get moving then. You only have until the end of next year to convert
to PHP.

My only question: What kind of crack is Allaire smoking, and where
can the rest of us get some?
Good grief! What would possess an otherwise intelligent programmer
to write a server in Java? An app server should be small, concise,
FAST, and super optimized for the system it's running on. Java
misses the boat on all of those criteria.
Am I the only remaining programmer who hasn't jumped on the Java
bandwagon? I mean... Java's great for certain tasks -- namely those
where speed isn't much of an issue but cross platform functionality
is. That's certainly not the case for an application server with
thousands of concurrent accesses. There is no WAY a Java server can
out perform a *well* *written* C++ server. I wish Allaire would
spend their time fixing & optimizing the C++ codebase instead of
scraping it and rewriting in Java.
I can say this for sure: If CF ever goes to a Java backend, I'm
moving to PHP...

Zac Bedell
