Hi all!
Unfortunatelly, I cant say that my thoughts of this kind were inspired
by some sort of web market analysis. I do work as a web development team
manager, act as an webprojects architect and also I'm realy very
interested in modern development technologies. So, I do hear a lot of
Python, Java, PHP which is becoming more and more serious development
tool for both well-educated and experienced programmers and school-boys
who just want to create their own guestbook/webchat. And for a couple of
last years I haven't heard of ColdFusion much.
I have some sort of example here. ozon.ru -- the largest Russian online
bookstore (it's not a bookstore now -- it's a supermarket like
amazon.com) was the first Russian e-commerse project, which looked
seriously in 1997. It was created using ColdFusion. But several months
ago (maybe year and a half -- don't remember) it was recreated with MS ASP.
I do have some dozens of freinds who work as web-developers. The use
Java, ASP.Net, PHP. I know none, who uses ColdFusion in his work, though
ColdFusion is a relatevly old technology.
So, that's my ugly point -)
