ColdFusion/CFML. All day, every day. Although a heavy dose of the newer hotness and the eventual migration of everything I work with off of it is in the works.

ColdFusion/CFML. All day, every day. Although a heavy dose of the newer hotness and the eventual migration of everything I work with off of it is in the works. Still enjoy working with it though. Very productive.

  Perhaps the only two who still enjoy it. :) I'm working on the latest revision of a client's CF intranet app that been in use for fifteen years, now.

    A mess can be made in any language :) Be scared to see what today's modern frameworks and their code bases might look like in 10-15 years, because some projects will have that lifespan.

      The only real mess is the project's continual struggle against the language's verbosity and limitations. I try not to think too often about how much shorter some section of code would be if it were in Flask or Django.

    CF and Intranet. That is so 1999 :) Although Cobol was super hot back then too for y2k patching.

I still maintain a ColdFusion based site and am looking into building a new project using Mura. It's actually a fantastic CMS both from a developer and non-technical user perspective.

A lot of what's being built today as "web first languages" has existed for a long time in ColdFusion already for over 20 years. ECMAscript style coding support that unlocked the underlying JVM in its entirety is one of those things. It was one of the first, and only languages and platforms that was made for the web first, instead of extending non-web language to the web with a framework.

I'm basically CF full time as well. I know a lot of languages, but I have enough client work in CF to stay completely booked. I am working on a new project in Django that is going to be interesting, so we'll see how that pans out.
