I bet most of us are of similar mind considering this is a PHP list. :-) In any case, did you hear that Cold Fusion is moving to a Java engine? This is all from word-of-mouth -- perhaps someone can confirm it -- but I hear that Allaire is rewriting their scripting engine in Java to make it cross-platform, and that every CF page will be translated into a JSP page, which will be translated into a servlet, which will be compiled into a .class file, which will be interpreted by the Java virtual machine. LOL. Now I'm all for PHP (or other web scripts) being available on multiple-platforms, but since when was it of utmost importance to write cross-platform web apps? What's more, it won't matter to anyone that these apps are cross-platform. It'll only matter that their browser times out every time they request a CF page. Dean.
