Wow! When I saw this series a couple of months back i was hoping they would do a CF one. I figured they would totally slam into it and surprisingly the ONLY thing they came up with was that it has a command line and CF doesn't. LAME! :-) J.J. On 10/3/07, Zaphod Beeblebrox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That's pretty cool! When I first started with ruby, it was the first time I'd ever used closures, or blocks as ruby calls them. At first, I thought they were just a fancy way to program and really not needed. Boy, was I wrong. Great to see that you're adding them in! On 10/4/07, Sean Corfiel

after I sent that off, I got to thinking about one of my favorite features of CF 5, dynamic datasources for cfquery. Once cfmx rolled around and did away with that feature, I was bummed, but then thought "oh well, that's the price of progress". Recently I've been playing with jruby which is able

That's a key distinction between CF and several of the languages that it is compared to. Ruby, Perl, Python and C# are all general purpose programming languages. Even PHP, which is primarily used as a Web application language, can be used as a general purpose language. But where CF lacks specific c

you had to make me break out my ruby-fu didn't ya! :) Ruby let's you solve problems easier than any other language I've used in the past. To me that's what it's got over CF. For instance, there was a question about how to find the largest number smaller or equal to the one supplied by the user.
