Dognabbit! Scala and Clojure aren't on the list either! How dare they! *sigh* I think the point here is that the poll was created by folks with a particular world view and seeing C / C++ as the 'best' languages tells you a lot about that. If folks choose to wade in and defend CFML (the language), please: * remain calm and polite - so that the CF community is well represented * try not to sound like a fanboi - use reasoned arguments * remember that almost everything on the list is a general purpose language, not just something confined to a Servlet container (on that last point, Railo 4.0 will offer the ability to run CFML outside the Servlet container - but that's a 'future' and probably won't win you many points on the LQ forums) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335019 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
