I want to add one more thought here though: the one language that I will evangelize as long as I live, the one that will outlast them all is SQL - and credit where due, CF had a fantastic relationship with SQL, much better than many other comparable langs, honestly one of the best ive ever seen. cfquery was and still is the best thing CF ever had. No other lang was it as easy and fast to run a safe, parameterized sql statement and stick the results in html.

Absolutely. I mentioned this in another comment, but the fact that every language doesn’t have a version of cfquery (including query of queries) is criminal. It makes me sick when I have to work with sql in any other language because I always think how much easier it would be with cfquery. People should copy the best ideas and cfquery is one of the very best ideas ever to come out of programming languages. Everyone should be copying it.
