I think a lot of these ideas sound really nice, but there's a part of me that doesn't want CF to turn into Java, which seems to be the direction we're going. I think it's a bit difficult to preserve the simplicity of CFML and make it do everything syntactically that Java can do: interfaces, constructors, etc, etc. Well, I'd certainly hate to see CF turn into Java as well.  It takes far too long to do anything useful in Java or .NET as far as web applications go.  Could you imagine having to write code to create a connection, create a sql statement, ... blah blah blah... every time you had to use the database in CF?  That doesn't even mention having to build queries like "insert into table (col1, col2) values (" + col1var + "," + col2var + ")".  Of course, I know there are other ways, but overall, it is much quicker to do things in CF in general anyway.  Its so bad I ended up writing a class to do it all for me, where I just pass in a string of the query (and in true cf style, substrings surrounded by # signs get replaced with variable values they represent).  The version CF uses static typing will be one higher than the last version I'll use.  But still, I would like it to be a little more object oriented and easier to use, insofar as making it quick(er) to do menial tasks (such as create an object, as I mentioned).  ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
