Flexibility. Web 2.0, 3.0, whatever; we will continue to see innovations and improvements in how we deliver information, and specifically how we do that within a web-enabled society. Scripting languages, like CFML, PHP, Perl, etc., are inherently lightweight and flexible. They will be the choice of many who want to be at the forefront of new web development strategies; partly because they do not require a large investment in time to produce a workable solution based upon the latest technologies.

Web development is moving in the direction of improving “desktop experiences” and web services. CMFL, in particular, has a rich set of functionality built into the language to handle this. Flash paper, flash forms, and web services, are easily constructed with CFML. So, if you want to get in this game early, go with the technologies most likely to be at the forefront. CFML is a good choice to keep you in the winners circle.
