> Remember bad code happens in every language

I remember writing a Windows service to reload the CF's DLL every time the number of concurrent connections to ISS exceeded a certain threshold.

That happened, literally, in the past century, but Cold Fusion earned its bad reputation at that time. I was glad when I saw most of the original plumbing being ejected years later.

Yeah, CF pre-2001 had an entirely different architecture (when it switched from a static binary format to running atop the JVM ... lol it was a JVM language before that was cool)
"from a static binary to a monolithic JVM app"
