Ah yes, completely agree. It’s the coder not the code. Though we kept finding and having to work around limitations and bugs in ColdFusion that was driving us nuts at the time. (For the record, I mainly did the testing and support while others struggled to write the code.)

I could say the same thing about ASP or PHP - it’s not the language, it’s the developer. One of the strengths of CF - and maybe weaknesses - is that as a programmer, you’re able to get an app up and running very quickly, and requires a basic understanding of the language. The more you know, the better (cleaner, more efficient) your apps become.

Not being a fan of ColdFusion, I kind of hope it’s killed immediately. What I thought was it’s slow and painful death over the years was fun to watch, but I deal with too many creaky old (and poorly written) ColdFusion apps, that I’d really like to say “ColdFusion is dead, we might want to rewrite these in something else…” ;)
