Impressive ColdFusion frameworks

ColdFusion is a great language, and lately, with great frameworks ... Model Glue: Unity, MachII, Fusebox, ColdSpring, Reactor; man ... they're all are truly amazing. Anyways, let's welcome one more to this list. ColdBox was developed by a friend of mine, Luis Majano, and it's amazing. He's currently using it for Sandals Online Booking, who by the way has extremely high traffic... Luis will release this as an open source project -- thank you Luis -- so add one more framework to the list. The code and documentation will be released soon, but I've personally seen it in action and it's worth checking out.
