State of the CF Union 2022 Survey Results 8. – Wrap up

Always concerned about CF dying. Also, the lack of CF jobs. In addition, the lack of CF being introduced in college’s. If we can get the young upcoming devs introduced to CF it would help grow the community. IMO, this where CF is lacking and it’s essential that they fix it to keep CF alive.

Keep up the great work! I appreciate your enthusiasm and all of the ways that you all have pushed the CF community along! We need the push!

Would be nice if job openings in CF are easily accessible like for other tech.
Would be nice if Adobe itself provides few opportunity for CF developers.

Great survey. If in search of topics my shop is always "moving" toward new mostly front end stacks. The current choice is vue apps with tailwind using an in house design system. I would be interested in other developers experience tying ColdFusion front ends in with a javascript framework like vue. We have sort of been relegated to the "Back End" dev role where previously with all ColdFusion based coding we were more "Full Stack". It would be great to learn how to better integrate CF code with vue instead of just being the back end API code. Thanks again.

Thanks for doing this, good to see how the community invests in CFML.

Please let us know the result of an Survey. Thanks.

The CF Summit question should probably just have the online Summit and not east/west since it's just been online the past couple of years. Hopefully we'll be in person next year!

When will be ready the Adobe CF extensions for visual studio code ?

Hands down the best server-side web programming language and platform out there. You can move mountains with CF and using it, I have saved the US Government over $161 million dollars.

Aside from a couple of my own sites and projects I used to work on, I've moved on from Adobe's version of CFML. I do watch what is going on with Lucee but am slightly dismayed at the lack of acceptance for it. Hell, I honestly believe that had Allaire released Coldfusion/CFML out and open-sourced it before the two idiot companies (Macromedia and then Adobe) took it over, we wouldn't be in the current PHP/WordPress-Hell that we are in now. Personally, I LOVE what Lucee is doing but feel that it is way too in the "day-late-dollar-short" department. Too many people love the "If it is free it is for me" concept that PHP brought to the table with its crappy syntax. But hey, "free" tends to be like that and PHP come out at the right time while CFML dwindled into irrelevancy in Macromedia and even more so when Adobe got it and banished Coldfusion/CFML to the outer-hells of irrelevancy because it wasn't an important cash-cow to them like all the other eyegasm goodies they acquired in the GREAT Macromedia hoovering. Anyway, yes, I like Lucee. But NO, I will not ever touch Adobe's Abomination servers that run Coldfusion. And I doubt I'll do much with it again in my career. Thank you for the survey and good luck!

Thanks for doing this survey. It's always interesting to read the results.

Viva la CF!

Great survey, looking forward to seeing the results.

Thanks for your ongoing enthusiastic support of CF and the CF community. I am looking forward to seeing you at in-person CF events!

The CF community must do a better job of conveying that CF is a secure way to develop apps.
The CF community must do a better job at showing the long term viability of ColdFusion.
We know these are not issues but those in charge of making decisions need an easy way to see this.

Keep up the good work - all the best!

Thanks for continuing to do the survey

I would love to see the backwards compatibility of CF also in its frameworks. However I habe experienced that updating or upgrading a framework often is a pain in the ass

Great job keeping this going ever year! Thank you 🙂

Lucee is an amazing product. It would be nice to have a (current) roadmap page on the Lucee website. It’s difficult to plan upgrades and migrations without knowing lucre’s plans.

Want to help to make CFML hot again.

I love cf

good activity
