Couldn't have said it better myself
Hal Helms was one of the original creators of the Fusebox framework for ColdFusion. I started using that framework at version 2 for all of my ColdFusion development. Back in 2006-ish, I discovered Ruby and Ruby On Rails. I was hooked and even though I had around 8 years of CF experience at the time, I went whole hog on RoR.
I’ve been watching members of the CF community slowly switch over to RoR. I’d always thought the CF programmers were a pragmatic bunch. Afterall, CF was the best tool for the job back in the dark ages of web development. It only made sense to me that they’d figure out that Ruby was an even better tool.
Today Hal Helms posted his farewell to CF blog post. It’s affirming to me to see something like this and I gladly welcome him to the community.
