What are the best practices for ColdFusion programming?

Question

I have been doing web development using PHP and Python for years. Recently, I started to program in ColdFusion without any frameworks. To me it seems very messy so far, I mean very thing mixed together, no MVC (missed Django a lot).

I am not sure is there any light-weighted framework for ColdFusion. Otherwise, any suggestions on good practices when doing ColdFusion programming?

I believe it is all subjective but... [Picking a ColdFusion MVC Framework](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3361951/1636917) — Miguel-F, Sep 18 '13 at 21:37
While it is certainly a valid question, it is not the best fit for SO. http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic — Leigh, Sep 18 '13 at 22:04

I wonder why the U of Maryland site said that cfoutput was faster than cfloop. Not curious enough to test it, but mildly curious. – Dan Bracuk Sep 19 '13 at 00:42

@DanBracuk It was written in 2000, so would ignore it. – Adam Cameron Sep 19 '13 at 06:23
