- rbanffy 13y agoWhen I used it, in 1998, it was so ridiculously unstable we had to write a service to restart it when connections started to pile up on IIS. Under heavy loads, the server had to restart every minute or so.
- sjwright 13y agoIt wasn't great, but it's not like there were many good alternatives in 1998...
- rbanffy 13y agoPHP was decent at the time, as was ASP on Windows. Both were much more stable and allowed a lot of flexibility in programming logic than Cold Fusion. In 1998, I've used all three (along with a couple others that didn't afford me the same level of productivity (Oracle Web Server, I'm looking at you).
- sjwright 13y ago> then I looked up examples on Wikipedia. Good God. The examples on Wikipedia don't do it justice. Modern CFML is written largely in C-style script form, much like JavaScript in feel. The examples you see on Wikipedia is programming within the old language form now (mostly) reserved for templating.
