Heh. Me too! Throw in Coldbox and its ecosystem and you have most of what you need.

I'm a big fan too, it's my daily go-to and a great "glue" language for all sorts of tasks webapps, APIs, batch jobs etc, all admittedly web-related as that's my job too. I recently moved over lots of Adobe CF code into Lucee and really enjoy the more modern language elements not to mention the lack of expensive licenses.

Truly a great book and happily it's available as an audiobook from LibraVox. There are three different readings, my favourite being this one. https://librivox.org/the-machine-stops-version-3-by-e-m-fors...
