ColdFusion is not associated with fun development, may be I'm wrong, but for me it is associated with plenty of config xmls and other enterpricy stuff.

Been using CF for 10 years, Java for 5. CF is a great bridge from the functionality and performance of Java with the ease and natural fit of a loosely typed language when building for the web.

CF and it's community is not the same beast it used to be, I would encourage you and others to take a second look.

Maybe it's been a while? Check out http://www.coldboxframework.com/ or http://fw1.riaforge.org/ as examples of the state of things these days.

Yep, Coldfusion is overly underestimated. It now supports script based syntax (similar to Java) and has a tonne of built-in useful functionality like Ehcache and more...
