"... it seems to be built from a 1995 tool called Adobe ColdFusion"
As an old guy I have to say the "here be dragons" tone of this phrase made me laugh. I never used it myself but there was a time when ColdFusion was huge.
- Dwedit 3y agoIn 1995, it wasn't an Adobe product. Macromedia was a thing.
- dominicr 3y agoI used to code ColdFusion, it was great! Really easy to understand and easy to build custom web sites. I saw it more as a framework than a launguage and it tried to push what a framework could do, making it's own browser widgets. Being Macromedia/Adobe they weren't very good and there were other limitations but you could also make use of it being Java under the hood. It was very popular with the US government and there are still a few (but decreasing) number of developers maintaining these old CF sites.
