This month not much changed in the index. Objective-C and Go are still scoring all time highs, while staying close to each other. There are 4 programming languages that have a realistic chance of entering the top 20 next month. These are educational language Scratch, functional language Erlang and JVM languages Scala and JavaFX Script.

ColdFusion is a language, not a framework, please review the list! It would be neat to see a list that has a highly used language on it. It's just like how Ruby is a language, and Rails is the great framework.

Hmm, technically ColdFusion isn't a language, it is a platform and brand name of the Adobe product. CFML is the primary language used in ColdFusion applications, though there is some blurring of the lines in the shorthand "CF" moniker.
If CFML is not a language, that leads logically to the perplexing conclusion that there are tens of thousands of applications written by hundreds of thousands of people in no programming language at all.
Do we then create a separate category for languages that fail to meet the "Turing complete" test yet provide the basis for tens of thousands of applications worldwide?
But why argue over terminology? CFML-based applications are statistically significant in the marketplace and failing to track them is a disservice to the community at large. ,
