In my last article about ColdFusion, I asked developers to tell me why that development platform still mattered in the age of LAMP, Ruby on Rails, and Ajax.
forum comments from readers: thoughtful, well-written responses to the An emailer also cited Java as a strength of ColdFusion, and echoed another person's comment that developing in ColdFusion proves a faster process than when working with other alternatives. Another emailer cited one of the websites with the heaviest traffic on the Internet, MySpace, runs on ColdFusion. It's a fair point and one that I missed. MySpace had its roots as an entirely different application before it became what it is today, love it or hate it. Despite some well-publicized downtime, MySpace has mostly held up under the demand. For those who use ColdFusion and love it, alternatives do not hold any appeal to them. The issue as I am seeing it is the likelihood of ColdFusion staying in a small but solid niche, while the future of online applications, Software-as-a-Service, and web services all are developed in or support everything but ColdFusion. Maybe that isn't a fair fate for ColdFusion. Unfortunately, life is seldom fair. Tag: Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Yahoo!
