ColdFusion ranked in top four application servers by developers

Adobe announced today that ColdFusion has been announced one of the top four application servers available just behind Websphere, Geronimo and Windows Server. Those are some pretty well respected and prolific servers right there, so it’s good to see ColdFusion kicking with the big boys.

This report is the latest in a series of hints that ColdFusion is growing as a technology ever since version 8 came out in July 2007, after some ‘dark times’ recovering from the reputation left by it’s ancestor versions.

At Monochrome, we’re seeing more interest in ColdFusion too which is certainly proof in the pudding, so to speak. ColdFusion is definitely not as visible in Europe as it might be in the states, but it certainly looks like that is changing. Hopefully with the release of the next version of ColdFusion ‘Centaur’ and the new ColdFusion IDE ‘Bolt’ we’ll start to this continuing.

If you’re looking for a development tool that will let you create web applications, and back-ends for RIA’s, ColdFusion is definitely worth a look.
