I know. I hate when someone comes to promote their new language, but then fail to actually showcase the language anywhere. The very first thing I want to see is what the language looks like, not testimonials about how great it is.

It took me at least 5 clicks from the home page to find the first snippet of code:

This is definitely not a new language...it's been around since 1995. The website does not make it particularly clear that this is a CFML engine though haha.

Lucee Server has not been around since 1995. It is a newer open source engine that implements a backwards compatible version of CFML but with many improvements and modern flourishes. Our lack of CFML mention is on purpose due to the negative stigma of legacy apps. It's fair to say that the majority of people are not familiar with the modern iterations of CFML. It's changed so much since the old days, it might as well be a new language!

Thank you for the correction!
