- *Q: Who is Richard Bremner? (Bonus question only for this month, especially for the ColdFusion community)*
Don't blame Richard Bremner for removing ColdFusion from the TIOBE index. The TIOBE company made this decision based on Richard's suggestion. The many, many mails from the ColdFusion community that this is plain wrong, forced us to reconsider this. ColdFusion still appears to be no a programming language at second thought, but CFML definitely is. CFML is tagged, like HTML and XML, but unlike HTML and XML, it is Turing complete. So CFML counts as a language. It will be added to the list as a separate entity from next month on. Unfortunately, CFML would be at position 135 if the TIOBE index would have been published today. In order to compensate for the harm done to the ColdFusion community we are thinking about putting an idea of Matthew Drayer into practice: having another index that measures the popularity of web application frameworks. This includes ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails, Django, Groovy, etc. we think this is an index a lot of people are waiting for. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 8:02 PM, Dale Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You know, I think you are right. > > I think the people on this list know their stuff mostly, so it's a bit > light > on technical questions of late. > > But if you do post a technical question here, you normally get a good > answer. > > Regards > Dale Fraser > http://learncf.com > http://flexcf.com > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf > Of Joel Cass > Sent: Monday, 5 May 2008 7:54 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [cfaussie] Re: ColdFusion Isn't a Programming Language? > > > I've been calling it a technology for years..
