You guys may or may not know that Coldfusion is now basically a
j2ee based scripting layer (CF is all written in
java and CF pages compile to java byte-code)
I have been doing CF, along with
JSP, for a few years now. Recently, due to what I perceive as a lack of demand for CF, I have begun to think about dropping CF and using PHP as my second language (second to Java/JSP)
My question is, is CF still a valid / viable technology these days? I have seen many threads around the web saying that CF is old hat and on its last legs, is this a common belief? I see many strong reasons to think so given that J2EE and .NET compete and PHP seems to be there for those not needing to standardise on either of these two. Is coldfusion going to become a legacy way of doing web aps?
Any opinions welcome.
