I am going to play extreme devil advocate...
CFML engines are all written in Java, however if you are referring to the syntax then I totally agree. Adobe have botched it up in ColdFusion 9 as far as I am concerned, and it again I will be open about how they should have taken a leaf out of grails and looked at how GORM works. But with the lack of Spring in ColdFusion the language is going to suffer. I would be very interested to know how and what you guys are thinking about here too, the ORM implementation from the CFMl side should be simple and yet be flexible enough to be complex if needed. That's where Adobe failed in my opinion, the functions entityXXXXX() is an abortion that should never have been adopted. But hey that's my opinion.

Vince's point earlier was a good one--Hibernate is the be-all end-all ORM solution for Java developers. Is that what we want or need in CFML?
