[thelist] Cold Fusion

[Adrian Gonzales]

Shawn,

Thank you for your snide reply, constructive criticism is always
appreciated.

Actually, CFMX can now run on top of J2EE, so yes, there is one.

Granted that would be a problem with further development, but I fail to
see how it would affect currently running applications/servers. Their
going under would not take every installation of CF with it.

Forgive me, I wont make the mistake again.


I am not speaking out against open source software. I believe that it is
a healthy and necessary outlook/process/theory. I personally use Redhat,
MySQL, Perl, PHPMyAdmin, DIA, Blender, Open Office, Horde and even PHP.
I understand that other languages have their strengths, and everyone is
free to choose the one that fits them best, I am merely speaking up for
CF and its advantages. Please feel free to list ways that you believe
PHP, Perl, Python, or whatever you prefer, work for you.
