There have been quite a number of posts in the CF blogosphere today with positive news and outlook about ColdFusion in the wake of the uneasyness brought about by the Adobe and Macromedia merger. I’ll just do links to these posts so that I’m not stealing anyone’s thunder:
- Macromedia: Java, ColdFusion Developers Safe
- ColdFusion Sales Are Up Up UP!!!
- Macromedia CEO Stephen Elop On ColdFusion
Hopefully some of this news will help quell the FUD being peppered around the community at the moment. Granted, it’s never a bad idea to expand your horizons to learn other technologies (I consider myself more of a programmer than a ColdFusion fan boy for instance, though CF is certainly my strength at this point), but getting paniced about the potential end of life for CF seems a bit melodramatic. Even if it were going away, it’s not like your existing CF licences suddenly stop working and you have to redo all of your applications in 2.3 seconds, right?
Update:
Looks like Sean Corfield also has a new entry with his thoughts about the merger.
