SOT: "Lessons from a lost decade: Developing for a disposable Web"

"Building applications for today's Web is a lot different than it was in those early days. Gone are the costly, monolithic e-commerce engines and content management systems written in C/C++, largely replaced by open source alternatives in more agile languages, such as Java and PHP. Meanwhile, once-promising technologies such as Napster and server push have joined Flooz, Geocities, and Kozmo.com as so much scrap on the side of the Information Superhighway. Remember ColdFusion?" http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/lessons-lost-decade-developing-disposable-web-241 -- John Bliss IT Professional @jbliss (t) / http://www.brandiandjohn.com

What was your reason for posting this? 2 retorts already by CF-people, but wouldn't it be better to just ignore these kinds of articles alltogether?

That's a good question.  It's clear to me that the set of things that need to happen in order for "ColdFusion is scrap on the side of the Information Superhighway" to be laughable is much larger than "CF-people retorting in the comments."  Having said that, I'm *guessing* that it helps...?  If the community disagrees, I'd like to hear about it.
