My job entails me writing mostly Coldfusion all day long.
I write new code in Coldfusion script. Its syntax heavily inspired by javascript, right down to the optional terminating semicolon.
I still have to support a fair bit of code written in Coldfusion tag syntax. That I dislike especially given the code base was written by amateur developers and just makes me feel like bad php from 2003.
- tombert 7mo agoOh I am very familiar with Coldfusion. My first job after dropping out of college [1] was doing Flash and Coldfusion work for a Martial Arts management company. I have very mixed feeling on the language as a whole, both the tag and script language, though they’re mostly negative nowadays. I joined the CFML Slack a few months ago, which I was surprised to find, and the people on there were very nice and I respected their passion for the platform, but I personally still find the language pretty irritating, even with the scripty version. Granted, I am very removed from web stuff now, and mostly work in data-land. [1] I have a degree now, but that came considerably later.
