Love it when I go to lunch, just to find out that someone posts my site to Hacker News and it gets crushed.
It will be back up and running shortly!

pud's latest project is still on the homepage of HN and he wrote it in CFML: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6519743 Just because project X is not written in your language of choice, means absolutely nothing. Its all about execution and this project is pretty impressive.
Sorry, but choice of language means more than nothing. ColdFusion is pretty dead-end and not a particularly good choice these days for a variety of reasons.
I agree that Adobe's ColdFusion is deadend but not Open Source Railo which is more of a Java Framework. At the end of the day there's no logical reason against CFML any more than there is against PHP, Rails, etc.

#33Ok folks. It's back up now. I will keep my eye on it, hopefully it doesn't get hugged to death again.

Can someone explain how leaking a traceback is a security flaw, considering it's a lot less information than just releasing the source code (which we do all the time and don't consider it a security flaw)?

Looks like it's set up to email them on errors and the email is throwing an error too.

Re: 2) Some day when I have a huge amount of free time, I would like to migrate to Groovy on Grails. Until then - CF is what I had used for over a decade, and it was the easiest thing for me to use to build with at the time (Jan 2012). I was more interested in getting something out there than using whatever the latest trendy tech.

* Who uses ColdFusion in 2013?* Me? Because I have to maintain a rather old site for my employer, and there is absolutely no chance that anyone would sign-off on migrating it to a different platform.
Same here... Want to start a support group?

all my clients unfortunately.
ha, I came here to say pretty much this, except I'd finish with 'fortunately' - I was reluctant to engage when I was first introduced, but Coldfusion has been pretty good to me.

If I remember correctly, F#&@ed Company, pud's old wonder box of startup gossip was also done in ColdFusion (though in those days it was quite a good platform to do web stuff).
No, there just wasn't a less-worse one. Bloody PHP is an improvement on ColdFusion.
