Nice list. I’m very new to CF. Found your site looking for info on automating installs. Then I found:

Maybe this accomplishes your wish #8.

Adam, I’m pleased you mentioned the missing dbvarname attribute of cfprocparam in CF6/7. Having to including *every* parameter in the *correct* order has been the cause of many errors and frustration. Adobe, please find a way to reinstate it in CF8.

Brandon, I really like your list. I’ve put my thoughts together (somewhat coherently I hope) into a post on my own blog.

Would really like to hear your thoughts.

Ditto on more RegEx support. While I don’t need them often, the times I needed to use back references and look-around, I REALLY needed to use them.

I think it’s interesting that commenters are already diving down into language feature specifics (which I think is a bit of a mistake).

I like Brandon’s focus on managability and enterprise level administration and control.

I posted some of my own thoughts on my blog, referencing this post.

Ah. OK. YOur blog doesn’t seem to escape angle brackets.

So I’ll try that again…

Another one from me.

CF5(?) used to allow for named parameters in , from memory. This seems to have disappeared at some point.

Can we have them back again, pls?

Brandon,

I would like to see an idea first presented to me by Spike Milligan implemented in CF:

return new String(#cfhttp.fileContent#);

OK, so that may be one of the more horrible examples I could have used… it was the first that came to mind. Being able to do raw Java in CF would be bonus and enable us to do some things that we’ve never been able to do before…

CFCs with inner classes? Why not? It’s something to think about, anyway.

Laterz,
J

Nice list,
I particularly agree with the thread timeout issue.

I would also like to add the ability to be able to use java ResultSet objects in my cfloop tags etc. In fact anything that makes using Java code and CF would be a major bonus.
