AKA Why I *don’t* love ColdFusion

I don’t know if it’s because CF is a tag based language, but it’s so bloody verbose.

Consider the following…

<cfset aList = ListAppend(aList, 5)>

Functional languages I have no problem with. I’m used to OOP, so aList.append(5) seems more natural to me, but I could happily deal with ListAppend(aList, 5) So why do I have to repeat the name of the list twice using cfset?
