They are the closest thing the internet has to a giant cage match between nearly every language and framework out there. The benchmarks have a suite of tests, such as run 20 queries on a page and output some data, and every language and framework implements the same logic in their syntax and style. The tests literally take days to run in full and spin up each combination of language and framework in docker containers where they are hammered with oodles of traffic and then the juicy stats are recorded for sweet graphical comparisons.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/how-does-cfml-really-perform-compared-to-other-languages/9325 Adobe Developer Week is this week!

Note that it's quite different from CFML's var keyword.This is NOT something that CF developers NEED to know, and it WILL NOT affect anyone's CFML code.I just thought I'd share news of it as I happened to learn of it today (though Java 10 came out nearly 5 years ago). More than anything, I thought it worth mentioning for the sake of either CF folks or Java folks who may come to work with CFML, to help each group understand how that Java var keyword is so very different from the one used in ColdFusion, for better or worse.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2022/7/15/java_10_var_keyword_differs_from_CFMLs New Releases and UpdatesLucee 6 beta coming soon?Webinar / Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI - Live Stream Series - Koding with the Kiwi + Friends - Special Guest - Wil De Bruin - Talking about CBValidationLast Friday July 15th, at 1pm PDTIn this last session, Gavin was joined by Wil De Bruin. Wil De Bruin works a lot with CBValidation, contributed to the project, blogged a lot, and even presented at Into the Box in the past. They looked at different ways to validate your api input, your models, where to store your constraints, and helper methods to cut down on your API handler boilerplate. They discussed using validate() vs validateOrFail() and how you can make your own helper to make your api’s even more fluent. Join them as they validate the API Endpoints for Developer Feud Quiz API which Gavin presented at Adobe Developer Week!Recording: https://cfcasts.com/series/koding-with-the-kiwi-+-friends/videos/20220719-koding-with-the-kiwi-+-friends-wil-de-bruin-validation Code: https://github.com/gpickin/koding-kiwi-developer-feud/releases/tag/2022-07-15 https://github.com/gpickin/2022-acf-dw-dev-feud-presentation July 2022 Seattle ColdFusion User Group Meeting - Hello ColdFusion! by Leon O'DanielThursday, July 21, 2022 at 5:00 PMThis introduction to ColdFusion answers the what and why for using ColdFusion, plus includes some demos that you can incorporate into your web site right away.How do I output today's date and today's year onto a web page?How do I output data onto my web page from a database?How can I display content from an RSS feed on my web page?https://www.meetup.com/seattle-coldfusion-user-group/events/286888783/ Ortus Webinar - July - Legacy Migration Follow Up: Using Coldbox with an Existing Code BaseJuly 29th 2022: Time 11:00 AM Central Time ( US and Canada )Dan Card will be presenting a follow up to his June webinar: Getting started with the Legacy Migration.
