This begs to make one think about how close CF can become to something like
PHP.

I imagine a free alternative that is easier to use than PHP is going to peak
the interest of some people.

Anyone seen this yet?

Smith is a freeware, cross-platform ColdFusion engine, written entirely in
Java. Running on the top of *Java Runtime Environment* and *Java Servlet
Container*, it can be virtually deployed on any operating system and work
with any web server. Smith represents lightweight, yet reliable alternative
to the existing ColdFusion servers. It supports most important CF features
(see *Features* <http://www.smithproject.org/product_features.cfm>) and
already drives several large ColdFusion applications.

Deeply integrated in J2EE, Smith works as part of ordinary Java Web
application and can easily be used together with servlets and JSPs. The
server behaviour is easily configurable through the simple Web interface
where database connections, debugging options, server mappings and more can
be set.

Smith is freeware software, which means that it comes with permission for
anyone to use, copy, and distribute it. It is also being seriously
considered to open-source it.
