Scorpio features only a geek would love. * Some of this stuff may or may not make it into the product.
JavaScript Operators – very cool – !=, <, >, ++, ==, etc. I’ve been wanting “++” and”!=” since the very beginning! Implicit array and struct creation – excellent! <cfset myArray=[“Steve”,”Tim”,”John”> <cfset [...]
