There's nothing wrong with ColdFusion, especially if you've had it around for a while. It's not as glitzy as Rails, but it works and it's still supported and modern. Besides, this isn't ColdFusion's fault. Leave because Linode violated your trust, but not because of the programming language they wrote their site in.


It's closed-source, made by Adobe and seems to have a bad security record - there are 3 things wrong with it.

Besides, it's not the reason I'm leaving - it just makes me question them. I'm not after glitzy. If anything, I'd have expected Linode to have been written in Perl or something.


(made by Adobe) ⇒ (closed-source) ∧ (has a bad security record)


The problem more lies with Linode not properly dealing with a disclosed ColdFusion vulnerability: http://breenmachine.blogspot.com/2013/03/cool-coldfusion-pos...


It may not have been disclosed yet when it was exploited.
