.NET and CF

While we all think ASP.NET is dam cool, in terms of the the CLR its on its own. Ben Forta (a CF guru for Macromedia) asks what next for CF and the discussion has moved to a CF version of the CLR. Ben has asked if a CLR version would sell, my arguement is it would.

I have been thinking about this exact thing for a little while now. I am not a big ColdFusion developer (I barely got past the tutorials for it), but it was VERY easy to get up and running and easier to make a simple database-driven web page. I'm not sure if creating a CF engine for .NET, but a language similar to .NET which would be simpler than the .NET languages, yet easier to do DB related tasks could be interesting.

There is already a .Net edition of Coldfusion under development by a 3rd party under the name of BlueDragon. It allows you to compile a cfm application to a native .net assembly (pretty cool eh!) They also have a version that compiles to true Java code which does not require the original sources on the server...
