Define a programming language and see if CF fits into it. Does it store variables? Do conditional logic? iterate loops? convert data? What makes C++ a programming language and CF not one? If you say that CF is just built on top of C++, then every C++ and java programmer aren't really programmers as they're not writing machine code. The argument is an artificial one. I'm a programmer because I use a computer language to write applications (even a single template) that runs on a computer to process some data.
