ColdFusion discussed on Rails Engine Yard podcast

I enjoy listening to Hal Helms and he recently was on an Engine Yard podcast, Cloud Out Loud. He brings a thought provoking perspective to discussions. He learned a new skillset, Ruby on Rails, after being a long time ColdFusion programmer. The podcast is definately worth listening to and is just over 15 minutes. I wish he would have mentioned ColdFusion is not only Adobe but does have open source options like Railo and OpenBD during the open source discussion. The ACF long release cycle is a thought provoking point compared to quick release cylce software especially these days when technology advances and changes so fast. Also a mention of ColdFusion on Wheels, a framework based on Rails, would have been awesome.
