Not enough people are aware that there is Railo and OpenBD that are 
opensource versions of Adobe's ColdFusion and the language (cfml) is 
having a resurrection in the non-enterprise world (it never went away in 
Govt and EWnterprise environments). Free, opensource and many times 
better than PHP in terms of performance and security. It has an 
increasing pool of applications, CMS, forums, blogs, ,etc., and is 
shedding its commercial, pricey image.

cfml on all platforms compiles to java bytecode, is rugged and has 
built-in protection against SQL-injection and the other web security 
risks. Railo's version is known for its high performance and OpenBD is 
very lightweight for limited resource environments.

Railo is here: www.getrailo.org
and the commercial support firm behind it is here:

OpenBD is here: http://openbd.org/
