With all the Adobe layoff news going around it makes me nervous about future support of ANY of their development products. Enough so that I am recommending that my friends and colleagues bone up on other technologies. Learn Grails, Closure, Python, Rails, whatever. Get your hands dirty with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. Still want to run CFML applications? Not to worry, there are 2 VERY good solutions for that. Check out Railo or OpenBD, they are both free, open source and, in my not-so-uncommon opinion, better than Adobe's ColdFusion. Still need to do Flex development? Well, for now the Flex SDK is open source and free. And with tools like FDT going to a freemium model you can get setup with a low cost development environment and hardly miss a beat.

I know that change is hard, but it can be done. Equip yourselves with knowledge, don't put yourselves in a position that makes you an "antique". Read up on the new hot stuff. Even if you don't end up using that tech you'll be a better developer for just exploring the idea.

I'm not saying that everyone using Flash/Flex and ColdFusion are going to find themselves out of work tomorrow or even in 5 years. However, I am saying that you are doing yourselves a major disservice by not getting out of your comfort zones. I'll say it again. Go learn something new. Don't wait. Go home tonight and search YouTube for "Intro to {insert some language here}". Lastly, if you feel comfortable with it, share your experiences with the rest of us, get us motivated and excited about what's out there. It's okay to be open and public about learning a new set of skills, I guarantee you're not alone.
