I find that most client concerns about CFML are "legacy". When they learn that it's a J2EE deployment now, and brings a pre-programed library of methods and objects to their java environment (eg not a WinTel standalone executable), they usually get interested.

For a vocational field which relies on constant change and innovation, it's always amazing to me how many people in I.T. get caught up in age-old opinion and crowd hysteria. I.T. is very mutable, many humans are not.

Done. My only real concern about CFML in general, is the ongoing support for OpenBD in particular.

I usually don’t get asked about PHP. I get asked about RAILS more but when I demonstrate the speed of OpenBD/CFML especially on web services API’s the preference for the most part goes away.

Done - good questions I thought, and all relevant options.

My biggest concern is that CF is dying / legacy.  When I tell collaborators / prospective clients what language I code in, they nod tentatively, and wish I said PHP.  I can explain all I like, but I fear that the critical mass is not there.  The survey doesn't have many responses yet, but the numbers show a graying programmer base.  I hide all template file extensions (for many reasons) behind 404 redirects, mainly so the question of underlying architecture isn't prominent.

CFUnited is doing a survey which they call "The state of CF unioin"  Should really hve been CFML union.
Might not be bad if some of us OpenBD's friends would take this survey also.  It's for the best of us all in the CFML world.


The result of this Survey will be presented on the 14th of February

Mats
