Comments on: ColdFusion and Java http://www.barneyb.com/barneyblog/2006/08/13/coldfusion-and-java/ Thoughts, rants, and even some code from the mind of Barney Boisvert.

After all was said and done I couldn't help but think about the simplicity of CF's custom tags. To me CF vs. Java boils down mostly to the size & type of the project (especially when there's existing code to levarage) and other environmental factors (skillsets, infrastructure, etc). Both have their place and it's obvious that the *right* way to do something is not language-specific.

I guess by now you're past the start up phase that appfuse is meant to help you with, but i'm certain you'd find a few interesting new ideas in the framework or the surrounding community (imho one of the highest signal to noise ratios around).

If one solution was truly superior in all cases, the others would fade away into oblivion. Gus I always find the "this is way to do things and everything else sucks" arguments idiotic.
