I did a lot of Cold Fusion back when it was owned by Allaire, and drifted away when it became what I felt was a DSL for bad Java. Even had a component I sold (for RSS parsing into CF Objects).

It was the language of my first big assignment after striking out on my own years ago, and I'll always have fond memories of JJ and Jeremy and of CFML. Homesite / Cold Fusion Studio were the best HTML authoring tools in their time, too.

I'm glad to hear that he's still creating in this industry! I have been hearing so many things about R and keep meaning to look further into it.

I started developing seriously in '99 and ColdFusion was how I got my start. Many fond memories as well.

The Open Source version of CF (http://lucee.org/) is better than the Adobe-owned version at this point (IMHO).

I started with CF back in 1996 as well. So cool to see JJ still working on this stuff!
