Why do people think ColdFusion is really a programming

I mean really, come on.

Shame on you, that's not a real question [and was it really worth bumping???}Now, I am a coldfusion programmer, and I personally don't think it's a real programming language. The problem is, the people who started coldfusion thought it wasn't a programming language either, but then suddenly as its userbase needed more solutions for the applications they were building, the language got bigger, and it certainly had to start mimicing the constructs and processes of a real programming language, including OOP methods. So it has become one. Sure it's not OOP, but I was able to use the process I learned from ColdFusion and put it into my C++ skills. But of couse you were asking the question as your own statement about its quality, so your asking is disingenious to begin with. It is a programming language, strictly speaking, as you give it input, which it interprets and gives output. It's certainly not as robust as PHP, and has to go back to the server unlike Javascript, which I'm sure you must think are both real languages since they're OOP, but why complain? Get over it and get back to your real programming language.
