They're always going to find more opportunities with .NET and Java. Java is a full-fledged application language and is not in the same category as ColdFusion. It covers many more things. .NET is not as good as ColdFusion, but it's Microsoft -- what do you expect? The popularity of those languages are hardly an indicator of a problem for ColdFusion.
In fact, I just did a wonderful interview with Jeff Whatcott at Adobe which will come out as soon as we get it transcribed (The print issue is taking precedence here) where he says that many people who switched to Java from ColdFusion switched back when CFMX 7 came out, and are still switching back. The point is that none of the stats on Monster for .NET and Java tell you anything about ColdFusion. But this is all old hat and old news... People have been saying this on and on, forever and ever, and it's just getting old. Believe me -- ColdFusion isn't dying. It's not going away. .NET and Java will always have a bigger market share but so what? We'll always have a job. And there will always be more ColdFusion jobs.
