Hi all, Aether has 3 typed-array creation syntaxes: 1) ArrayNew(dataType=____) 2) [dataType][] 3) ArrayNew[dataType](params) Long-time community ask is for method invocation syntax object[method](params). See its conflict w/ #3? Lucee isn’t implementing #3 b/c it conflicts w/ their object[method](params) support. Proposal: A) Remove #3 or B ) replace it w/ ArrayNew(dimension[, dataType]) Possible conflicts: 1) ArrayNew(dimension[, dataType]) conflicts w/ ArrayNew(dimension[, isSynchronized]) if dataType is a CFC named true.cfc or no.cfc, for example 2) object[method](params) conflicts w/ ArrayNew[dataType](params) if object is a […]
Ray Camden’s wife Jeanne who died suddenly on May 23rd, 2018. Ray has been known in the ColdFusion world as cfjedimaster for many years. I felt sad reading this devastating news. Losing a life partner is hard. It sucks, actually. I lost my life partner, Liz, in 1993 from cancer. I was depressed for at least 9 months afterwards. Just going through the motions of going to work, eating, watching TV and sleeping. It took me years to process it […]

Type checking cannot be trusted. Repro: <cfscript> function f1(numeric myNumeric) { return min(myNumeric, 1); } function f2(numeric myNumeric) { return myNumeric.min(1); } </cfscript> <cfscript> function f3(date myDate) { return dateAadd(“d”, 1, myDate); } function f4(date myDate) { return myDate.add(“d”, 1); } </cfscript> I can break someone’s f2 by passing a date to the numeric argument. I can break someone’s f4 by passing a numeric to the date argument. Look at f1 vs f2 and f3 vs f4. See the only […]
Hi Adobe, We need a way to subscribe to the Known Issues tickets. That’s currently complicated due to the Known Issues doc not listing ticket numbers. Question: If some of those are internal tickets, then can they please be copied to Tracker? And the doc updated to list a ticket# for each? A list of “Thing X does Y instead of Z” isn’t so useful when we want: 1) To know what is the repro case 2) To vote on […]
Hi Adobe, Could someone please explain the “Resources” icon at top-right of CF Admin? Clicking it returns us to CF Admin’s home screen, which raises questions: 1) Why does the tooltip say “Resources” instead of “Home”? 2) Why does the icon look nothing like a typical “Home” icon? 3) Why is it placed obscurely at the top-right between the Search & Info icons? I think that icon can be removed, since clicking the CF logo & “Adobe ColdFusion 2018 Administrator” […]
