I'm not clear on what this is intended for, but neither WO nor CF seem
a good fit. Neither are aimed at spatial analysis. :-) Is this
supposed to be a tool for the client, or an on-line web application?
Java might be an appropriate language to write this in. It is fairly
powerful, for a statically typed language, and there are lots of
libraries available for PD. support as well as math libraries.
If there is a lot of database access to get the roadway data then the
EOF part of WO may be of some use.
FWIW

I've done a few searches but can't find any articles that address an issue I
am having.
Background:
I am currently being asked by a client to write an application in ColdFusion
5.0 (not even MX).
It is a roadway analysis tool. It is supposed to render straight line
diagrams of roadways onto a PDF file, as well as analyzing and rendering some
60+ roadway features as bars by milepost, and then do spatial analysis to
locate and address features that are not referenced to the roadway itself.
I do not at all feel that ColdFusion is a suitable environment to write
something this complex, but I am having trouble coming up with a compelling
argument against it that is written in a tactful way. I would really rather
not piss off the client, who is a CF-junkie.
Please help..
