I guess I still think of C# as typed.

My point being that CF has a license, whereas Ruby and Python do not - which has little value in gauging success, a la IIS v Apache/nginx. (Ignoring the reality of open source Railo and Open BlueDragon for the moment)

Ruby and Python are strongly typed, but they're also dynamically typed. Certainly not untyped.

They also both have licenses, but they don't charge money to obtain a copy.

Not to be pedantic, but I suppose you mean license as "you have to pay to use it". Both Apache and nginx have a (free software) licence.

Yes, I meant "paid license" :-)
