We still build in Coldfusion with core modules in Java. In its tag based days it was annoying but now that you can work in pure CFScript it's a lot cleaner.



CF here as well. Tried writing in CFScript over the years but got tired of having to go to tags for certain things. Will give it another shot when we upgrade to CF9 which has full support. We are moving some processes to another language (prob C# on database) for stability/performance reasons, and will probably consider alternatives for any big new projects.


It's nice to see that there are still some people out there that use (read: admit using) CF.

I personally use it as my primary language as well, and have successfully used it at every company I've worked for. I'll admit the tag based syntax is pretty ugly, but you can kick out some great apps with it.


ColdFusion here too.
