Hey there (what's your name, btw?),

The Manhatten Project a écrit :
> "Coldfusion (for crying out loud!) "

I admit to gratuituous slight bashing due to possibly obsolete 
encounters with the technology, quite a few years back.

I used ColdFusion back when Allaire still existed...  At the time, I 
didn't like it at all, for a number of reasons: way too closed a dev 
universe, way too little horsepower, clumsy syntax, difficulty for 
MVC-like practices, and the like.

Then Macromedia (yeah, noticed your e-mail address) bought Allaire, 
turned HomeSite into something a bit bulky, and started working on 
ColdFusion at some point.  I hear all kinds of things now, so for all I 
know, it's better.  It's certainly still out there, which amazes me a 
bit.  (But then, diversity is good for competition and innovation, isn't 
it?)

I just, on principle, wouldn't buy into a non-OSS server-side tech.  So 
I go RoR now, and use PHP or J2EE-related FLOSS stacks when I must.

But again, and for the record: I'm absolutely no CF expert, and my rare 
experiences with it are way old.

It seems much like the outsider in the server-side world though, so "for 
crying out loud!" also referred to its, er... exotic label now? :-)
