I just did superficial Wikipedia research. Might you have an aversion to CFML, which is like a COBOL dialect built out of HTML tags? But CF code doesn't have to be written that way; there is also CFScript which superficially resembles JS. You can wrap it between <cfscript> tags:
<cfscript>
function Sum(a, b) {
var sum = a + b;
return sum;
}
</cfscript>
This seems all-right-ish at first glance (to say which, of course, I temporarily lock my Lisp programmer hat in my desk with keys, which I then throw across the office to retrieve later). Are the semantic problems with CFML/CFScript (say, along the lines of the famous issues with PHP?)
There are definitely some warts that have built up along the years (mostly inconsistent function names), it's much better than PHP in my opinion. As I understand it, many of the libs in PHP come from different sources, and you get differing schemes. While it's starting to deviate, in general all dialects of CFML came from the mothership of Adobe, so it's still pretty homogenous.
