Perl (if badly written), PHP (if badly written), ASP (if badly written), CF
(if badly written), Mason (if badly written), and everything else under the
sun (if it's badly written). CF, however is a bit more interesting...
The point about CF is that it uses the approach of "Anything written in CF
changes to whitespace when processed" as a default, instead of treating CF
as a programming language and compiling etc (prepare to flame me...).
That's what produces the whitespace. This can of course be turned off, and
can mean faster page loading. The CFML processor is effectively only a
parser (a fast one, but still a parser) so any other language that is parsed
like this will produce similar output.
