While reviewing a #CFML issue, I discovered that a 3rdparty "AWS/Full-Stack Engineer" contractor (hired by my client, not me) used THIS & LOCAL scopes in a regular CFM template, but also didn't use VAR or LOCAL within functions. This is a problem, right? What would you do?

Why do #ColdFusion developers using CFQueryParam in their #CFML scripts? It shouldn't be used solely for guarding against SQLi, right? For DBMS perf, is it best used to bind 1) all params or 2) only params that change? (I tend to use it for "all").

Now that I'm performing some cross-platform #CFML testing using #CommandBox (& @TryCF), I can determine when #ColdFusion bugs are fixed. For example, it wasn't until ColdFusion 2023 that the CFHTTP function accepted boolean TRUE/FALSE for GETASBINARY (vs only strings YES/NO)

While reviewing some 3rdparty #ColdFusion, not mine, I came across the following: dateFormat(now(), "yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss") "time" is not supported in dateFormat, but it works with Adobe CF whereas all Lucee #cfml versions return the time value as "HH:00:ss". Bug or feature?

Now that CFTable has been removed from #ColdFusion without any fallback function; there's no built-in options to output a query (apart from using CFDump). I haven't been impacted as I've been using queryToTableDump & queryToMarkdown custom #cfml UDFs. Anyone interested?

I've started performing some cross-platform #cfml testing regarding scope and built-in function behavior. One of my mantras is "Trust, but verify". Adobe ColdFusion, Lucee & BoxLang platforms all have "nuances". Some changes are intentional, but some are bugs.


Why do #ColdFusion developers using CFQueryParam in their #CFML scripts? It shouldn't be used solely for guarding against SQLi, right? For DBMS perf, is it best used to bind 1) all params or 2) only params that change? (I tend to use it for "all").


@AnthropicAI recommends creating a standard CLAUDE․md file for providing context. Are there any #ColdFusion or #CFML devs using a md file? anthropic.com/engineering/cl… This is primarily for CLI, but I think may be good to use with chat too.


Last week was MessagePack for #ColdFusion, this week is all about TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation). I still have some cross-platform & edge case testing to perform, but this looks promising. #cfml

Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) for #ColdFusion / #CFML Standard JSON is verbose. TOON can help save money by conveying the same information and requiring fewer tokens.

I used @claudeai for the first time today. I was wasting too much of my time coaching other AIs (grok, gemini & copilot) regarding the #ColdFusion language & its "nuances". I ported #msgpack to #cfml. There were there 50+ implementations, but not a single native CF version.
