Railo: The Bigger Picture - CFML on the JVM

I'd like to see more adoption of CFML for scripting on the JVM. Here is how I think the jboss.org announcement *might* facilitate that goal . . .

Railo: The Security of Alternatives

Posted At : April 7, 2009 9:35 AM | Posted By : Peter Bell

Part of an ongoing series explaining why I decided to head up Railo US starting this month . . .

I remember (too) many years ago when I started my first business. All my college friends thought I was so brave to take the risk of starting my own company. I saw things differently. Pretty soon I had 20 clients, no one of which made up more than 15% of my income. I thought *they* were braver to depend completely for their income on a single company that might fire them, close their department or go into bankruptcy at any time - irrespective of their job performance!

I think it's time we critically reviewed the relationship between what is best for Adobe and what is best for CFML developers. I'm not sure that the two are always exactly the same . . .
