one thing is for sure (and was sure before the merger!): You won't be
developing in CF for the next 10 years. The same goes for PHP, ASP, etc.
There will be more powerful servers and better tools to develop with. If we
were to use the same language set for such a long period of time it would
mean we're working on the slow side of the world. In fact it would be less
interesting, even boring, and hardly 10% of the current developer community
would exist.
If you want to be a long term developer in the wide field of internet based
apps (or whatever follows the thing we today call the internet), you got no
choice but to keep watching, learning, re-orienting. As was said earlier in
this discussion: We knew that CF would not be around forever. And also
mentioned earlier: If CF will disappear I (too) trust in my abilities as a
developer to do the same job in a different programming language.
Regards,
Chris
