Re: EQ vs IS
It's my recollection of about a decade ago when I was but a beginner at ColdFusion, that i think Ben's CFWACK said exactly that. I remember having been a bit confused about when to use "eq" and when to use "is" when I read in Ben's book that they were the same, and it was a "EUREKA!" moment for me. I recall reading it on the train on the way to work, and saying out loud "AH! Now THAT makes sense!" and then feeling a bit stupid as people looked at me and grinning.

Re: EQ vs IS
they're the same. both are comparison operators and since CF is a typeless language, at the CF level it doesn't matter which you use. i do use IS for comparing strings and EQ for anything else, but that's just a matter of preference and has nothing to do with performance.

RE: EQ vs IS (was:Re: [OT] ShittyCode.Com (Launched new site last night, feedback please!))
yeah, that's how I learned, and how I separate them. in fact, when thinking of comparing numeric values it always made more sense to use eq cause I could envision the = sign there. and when I check for string matches, is just made more sense reading it...WOW...maybe ill stick with it they way I have, just for readabilities sense. if they are the same, why do we have both, maybe because you cant use 1 is 2 or can you? tony weeg sr. web applications architect navtrak, inc.

FWIW, while Matt is 100% correct that there is no difference, I generally try to use EQ on numeric values and IS on strings (or even a compare() or compareNoCase() on strings). But always EQ on numbers. Just seems more intuitive to me.
