ColdFusion was such a horrendous product and I was kind of put off of RStudio for a while when I found out Allaire started it.

ColdFusion was something that seemed cool and was kind of clever but it had so many runtime bugs and was way worse than PHP, ASP, and JSP.

I used it at a college internship because it was the only dynamic language we were allowed to use to access an old Oracle database. At the time (almost 20 years ago), it seemed kind of luxurious compared to PHP.

I just looked it up and realized it's still around and still expensive.
