OK, you are correct. I shall retract my statement, and offer an amended one. :-)
ACF's cfscript support does not blow. As of ACF 9.0.1, cfscript support was mostly very good. (Prior to ACF 9.0.1, not so much.) I've just been informed that ACF10 fixed the colon issue, so that's another step in the right direction. But when compared to Railo, which has happily supported all the cfscript stuff (and then some) for many, many, many, many, many releases, the fact that Adobe continues to make stupid decisions like "Hey, let's add another function!" instead of just fixing cfscript support, well, BLOWS. :-) On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 9:13 AM, Raymond Camden <raymondcam...@gmail.com>wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 9:00 AM, Matt Quackenbush <quackfu...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > know it as well as I do, although I can appreciate your reasoning for > > Actually I don't.
