I use ColdFusion (well, technically I use Railo) and I love it.

I agree that the owner of the website here needs a tag, which tells the server what to do instead of showing that big error message.

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.

As we (I work for Adobe!) have talked publicly about the next rev of ColdFusion, and have shown features, talked about focus areas, etc, it is certainly not dead-end in terms of active product development.

Lol, no one really. Just a few obscure organizations like NASA, Apple, Pud's DistroKid/Fandalism, Intel, AT&T, and tons of others. Oh and railo is a java framework, who uses java!? Its 2013!

According to Wired Java is experiencing a renaissance of sorts: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/09/oracle_java/

Hundreds of prominent public companies have their investor relations (/ media relations) site served by coldfusion (including facebook, yahoo, ebay, paypal, EA, ...)

Its not the sexiest of platforms out there, but it can get the job done...

Actually a lot of enterprise applications are built with Java.

Linode use Coldfusion for their management interface [1] [2].

Exactly my point :)

Just like Coldfusion, many people have been saying Java is so 1995 but since Twitter showed how well Java scales compared to the woeful RoR it is seeing a renaissance. And since Railo is a Java framework that speeds development I have a feeling we will being seeing it experience a similar renaissance in the near future.

The site is apparently HN'ed... railo.runtime.net.mail.MailException which seems to be a framework error from a ColdFusion application server. Shame on OP, posting something cool and letting it get upvoted without warning the author/host in advance! :)

Sorry about that. I didn't expect that would happen. Will definitely do that next time. I found it really cool and thought of just posting it on HN. Edit: Pinged @sqlfiddle on twitter. I hope maintainer did notice it.

I was only joking. How do you know it's going to get upvoted anyway? I think it's probably good netiquette though.

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.

Sorry, but it is completely logical to choose Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, etc over CFML in 2013 for web projects.
