Align narrative to ColdFusion #28

Open adamcameron opened 8 years ago

adamcameron commented 8 years ago

IE: remove references to Lucee, align CFML to ColdFusion's dialect, change comparative references to ColdFusion to just be CFML.

Except chapter 0, obviously

Shame,

If it's accepting peer contributions perhaps the community will step up with the effort of maintaining the variances, was suggesting internally that this resource would form part of our training docs so happy to help keep the Lucee element current ?

Well in Lucee's own theory, anything that works for ColdFusion's CFML should work on Lucee's CFML too already.

TBH, it was trying to write this doc in a vendor-neutral way - and whata a ball-ache it was becoming dealing with Lucee's divergences - that pretty much put me off Lucee completely. It was just a mistake for Railo then Lucee to go their own way with CFML, for the purposes of "CFML solidarity".

It also makes CFML look a bit amateurish to have to explain the differences. Most of Lucee's divergences are just "nuisance" ones, IMO, and really don't add to CFML when seen in the broader context.

As far as peer contribution goes, 90% of what a Lucee-only user would write would still apply equally to ColdFusion's CFML, would it not? I don't see it as a barrier to contribution.

I do not intend for this to be "against" Lucee, I just don't want to busy myself with all the differences, as it's really not relevant to most CFML users. It's just clutter.

That said, I'm happy to add an appendix which covers Lucee divergences? It would def be helpful, and might cover your requirements too?
