Awesome. Its great to see New Atlanta driving Coldfusion forward.

CF, as a language, remained largely the same between MX and 7, but I think this might be just the push we need to get the ball rolling. :)

One of the best parts I think is the CFTHREAD tag, been testing it the last few days, and it can really speed up some applications.. :) The only thing I miss though, is the event gateways of CF 7. But hopefully we'll see it in BlueDragon CFML Server 8.
