Nothing really prompted this blog other than a cheesy reminder today of a pathetic programming language: ColdFusion. ColdFusion sucks.
If anything can rot the brain more than a crap server side language more, then I haven't found it yet. I mean seriously - ColdFusion blows some serious chowder all over what should or could be a very lucrative internet experience.
I was so pleased when Macromedia was bought by Adobe, for but only one reason - that they would likely KILL ColdFusion. Otherwise I thought "way to go Macromedia! Don't sell out to that (albiet) industry standard and monolithic Adobe!" And then they finally bent over and gave Adobe the keys. Boo Macromedia - BOO!
That's okay though. I was only really invested in Macromedia because I at one time did work in Flash - and used Dreamweaver primarily for coding. Granted, I did not use the WYSIWYG functions - hell no. But I grew accustomed to the coding interface when I worked at that one nameless company that canned me. (I'll get you yet, Jon.) Now I use Eclipse - and couldn't be happier. Plus its free! So screw you guys.
