A direct conversion function to function tag to tag in any language would typically yield code of the same size, but you can forget that the ASP, .NET, JAVA, or PHP code required more code to accomplish something that could be done using a different or more versatile ColdFusion tag or function. When you rewrite the logic to fully utilize what is available in ColdFusion you will find that they code can be much shorter. Then again you can just rewrite old CF code and make it shorter as well.

Matter of fact it probably is a little bigger but perhaps the exact same size. By size I mean lines of code. Reason I converted it was because PHP was eating up resources, my first conversion though had the same problem. Turned out they had a logic issue in how they were building some XML. Not sure why it did not come up on their server. If I were to do it over in Classic ASP then it would be about the same in size. ASP.NET<http://ASP.NET>, well that is another story. By size I am referring to the amount of actual code within the files.

As much time as I spend on the keyboard each day I figure that will allow me to program at least 2 years longer than my counterparts in other languages before carpal tunnel sets in meaning I can do what I love that much longer before I am forced into management to wither away.
