cfml

Just found myself needing to write some tag-based code and had to look up how `&lt;cfloop&gt;` worked. HA

it's always DateCompare() for me. Have to look up which way round the dates go, EVERY TIME.

Oh there's one of those date functions that takes two dates and a date part that works *the other way around* when yer using the member function version

:joy:

OMFG, it gets worse. Check this: <https://trycf.com/gist/6b8c3781b35bde561230adf576ac2e96/acf2021?theme=monokai>

```dad = createDate(1970,2,17)    
boy = createDate(2011,3,24)

writeDump([
    dateDiff("yyyy", dad, boy), // both: 41
    dad.diff("yyyy", boy) // CF: -41 / Lucee: 41
])```
So CF fails cos they're muppets.
Lucee fails cos they're not muppets, but kinda ought tobe

<@U074TB8TZ> yes I was hoping you'd see that and have a chuckle.

Hope all is well, buddy :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U01EY27APNH> that frickin stupid behaviour in CF is *another* example of "it's not a bug, we meant to do it that way" (same Adobe dev too, I think), not quite understanding that "the way you _meant to do it_ was wrong" so it's still a bloody bug.

Been a while since I was on a date Adam. Should have posted yesterday to keep in Valentine's theme imo.

Who's Big Daddy and who's The Boy in this particular scenario you're thinking of, fella?

My problem with CFLOOP was trying to loop over a struct using array syntax. Cos I'm a div. Can't really blame CFML for that.

Please note *VERY IMPORTANT* that the proper pronunciation is "SEE FLOOP". OK you may continue on your regularly scheduled CFLIFE.

I am _so_ gonna say "see floop" from now on.
