Evans Data research on App Servers is begin reported in a new article posted on Software Development Times On The Web. It includes the following quote:
ColdFusion, in particular, rated highly in scalability, performance and support options. Evans Data attributed this spike in ColdFusion appreciation to last year's release of ColdFusion 8.0.

I believe they are referring to WIndows Server as the .NET platform. They are not referring to ColdFusion as a language as Kris points out.
And even though there *is* a particular point of view where if you squint the right way you can consider these technologies comparable, the report writers then do their best to undermine it:
"ColdFusion’s competitors are older server page technologies like ASP and
JSP, as well as newer dynamic languages like Ruby and PHP."
Ben, I start to appreciate how hard your job is.
