once we get app into a seperation of concerns state, then CF's benifit of integrating server-side with HTML becomes moot - REST API does not need CF and client side does not use CF. Microservices running CF would help mitigate departure. |
.net |
nodes express |
NodeJS |
Language agnostic bit go or jvm based |

50. Any additional comments/suggestions for the survey?
Answers based on previous employer. Working with CF was harmful to my career because of low usage. Now working with node.js express. So nice to use same language in both front and back.
We're currently beginning the transition from CF <= 2016 on three different OSs to CF 2021 on Windows.
Feel like CF hit bottom a few years back and is having a modest resurgence. But it's not new people sadly, but people coming back to CF because it now offers features it previously lacked that forced them to leave the community.
There's a real opportunity for CF to gain popularity with Lambda/serverless as the easy to use solution. I'm hopeful but realistic they might fumble the opportunity.
It was a good survey. I really liked the questions. We are a community in Turkey employing approximately 500 people. We have been developing Workcube for 20 years. We love the Coldfusion community.
We are moving away from CFML. I wish it would be open sourced by adobe. It's time to move on. Personally I am already know the .NET which allows me to have better career and better salary.
When you ask Standard or Enterprise, also ask how many servers and instances are run in production. Would like to know the scale of production installs. One standard? One enterprise with 2 or 3 instances? 10 enterprise servers, 8 instances per server?
The entire cfml universe needs so much improvement with the onboarding of new developers. From a newbie perspective, its not very inviting or easy or modern.
Continue with your great work! I was very positively moved by your talks about cold depression. It's been a great help!
I am french, need to know if they are Lucee users in France, and also CF users.
To get a nearer relation.
Still waiting for full SQL support for query of queries (especially left join)
The questions have been modernised since the last time I looked at this (which was last year, I think). Good work.
Would love to know if Adobe is going to update the CFExchange tags since MS is ending support for Basic Auth.
Thanks for putting this together each year. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to the community!
