'''ColdFusion Markup Language''', more commonly known as '''CFML''', is a [[server-side scripting|scripting language]] for web development that runs on the [[JVM]], the [[.NET Framework|.NET]] framework, and [[Google App Engine]]. Multiple commercial and [[open-source software|open source]] implementations of CFML engines are available, including [[Adobe ColdFusion]], [[Lucee]], [[New Atlanta]] [[BlueDragon]] (who offer both a Java-based and a .NET-based version), [[Railo]], and [[Open BlueDragon]] as well as [[ColdFusion#Alternative server environments|other CFML server engines]].

On June 18, 2009, [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]] announced at the CFUnited conference that it had formed a CFML Advisory Committee<ref>http://corfield.org/entry/CFML_Advisory_Committee {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107042428/http://corfield.org/entry/CFML_Advisory_Committee |date=2009-01-07 }} CFML Advisory Committee&nbsp;— An Architect's View. Corfield.org. Retrieved on 2013-07-21.</ref> that would be responsible for guiding and reviewing changes to the CFML language. This effort was disbanded in 2010. The [[Google Group]] CFML Conventional Wisdom was created as a forum for open, public discussions about language and engine features; its use has dwindled since 2011.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}

In 2012, the OpenCFML Foundation was launched. Its function is to push [[open-source software|open-source]] CFML applications and platforms.

Former Railo lead developer Michael Offner launched [[Lucee]], a fork of the [[Railo]], in London on January 29, 2015. Backed by community supporters and members of the Lucee Association, the goal of the project is to provide the functionality of CFML using fewer resources, giving better performance and to move CFML past its roots and into a modern and dynamic Web programming platform.
