I admit, I don't use CF.
I looked at the Wikipedia entry for it and I see its heavy on server side programming. Envelope replaces server side programming.
CF uses server side programming to make components whereas Envelope uses Javascript web components on the client side.
Their seems to be a lot of overlap in expected use cases. Internal apps, data-driven apps.
I apologize, I can't really assert much else do to lack of experience with CF.
- bdcravens 11y agoAside from implementation details, I think the premise is the same: simple data access using SQL and rendering using familiar HTML-like syntax for markup and logic. CF of course came about at a time when browsers were far less capable (1995), so rendering is of course on server. Additionally, I think CF probably has more middleware, but I really haven't given Envelope much of a look (you really need a standard docs page)
