Ahhhh Lucee... An engine specifically designed by developers who refuse to learn/accept NodeJs.

I made a decent career as a ColdFusion developer for about 10-years. I embraced Lucee when it first was launched, and I still use it when I get in a bind.

But that being said, I bit the bullet about 3-years ago, and switched to NodeJS. It's simplicity and speed just doesn't compare.

The CF community has failed to realise that web pages don't really refresh anymore. We are in a world where JavaScript rules the front end, single-page apps are king. So the only useful part of CF is as an API engine, and frankly, NodeJS, Go Lang, Elixir, and Python will all run circles around it.
