Lucee is a fork of Railo, which was an open source alternative to ColdFusion (owned by Adobe, formerly Macromedia, formerly Allaire) which was written by JJ Allaire 20 years ago. I am sure most ColdFusion/CFML language docs would be pertinent to Lucee. ColdFusion was a rather prominent server side language in the late 90's and early 2000's. There are a bunch of companies that still use it today - I work for one. Overall though I would say it's widespread usage is on a significant decline. It can be very fast to get something up and running quickly but similar to PHP, can become a mess if one is not careful as you can freely mix data access, business logic and templating together.
It would be nice if they included examples on the main page or the "Learn More" page. I've spent a couple minutes bouncing around but I've failed in finding anything...
I've worked with Railo. It is buggy is not written with concurrency in mind. There were threading errors that were irresolvable without updates to a platform which was not written with threading in mind.<p>Do not use this.
Website is not very helpful in understanding what it is and why I'd want to use it. How about some examples of the code? That 'learn more' page is pretty damn thin.<p>Only in these comments did I understand it's a coldfusion variant for the JVM... would have been nice to make that more prime real-estate
