    Interesting. I, in sharp contradistinction, have NEVER heard anyone say their language is "the single best solution".

    I have, however, read posts like yours at least a hundred times over the years. And each time, the writer thinks he's saying something novel and significant.

    As an aside, modern ColdFusion code is a great scripting language on top of Java, which I much prefer using over JSP.

    Open-source CFML via Railo has been part of the JBoss foundation for a while now, and I've had some pretty amazing successes with a Linux/Tomcat/Railo stack.

    Unfortunately, the bar for entry into doing ColdFusion code is still pretty low, and it contributes to an overall negative impression.

    Personally, I've done quite a bit of development, from C++ to Python to PHP, and I still find myself doing CF code from time to time on a major project. It's really nice to use for some things, and really painful for a few things.

    I've had several clients ask to insert artificial delays just for the purpose of showing a progress bar or animation.

    Some Jerk:
    I find it funny how every wtf article ends up with people claiming one language or another is the WTF. It is surprising that one of the largest commonalities among developers (and the distinction between inferior developers and good ones) is that they are all brashly convinced that the coding language they choose to use is the single best solution and all other languages, platforms and technologies are inferior.

    As the master said,

    The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler.

    The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages.

    Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.

    But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
