I'm not a ColdFusion programmer, but I was just thinking. It seems to me that ColdFusion has a big ego if they insist that all of their keywords start with CF.

I agree with jwenting. In all my programs and scripts I give prefixes to all variables, constants, functions, etc. just to make sure that there is no funk with keywords and other predefined stuff. If C, PHP and the rest did this, we could USE those words to OUR choosing. Maybe not a big deal (and many might prefer no prefix to save typing), but I personally enjoy as much freedom as I can get. Am I making sense? Okay, well. I'm not into ColdFusion or ASP. I'm cool with PHP. Take care.

Actually it could be a good practice in that it makes it a lot easier to make sure noone uses your keywords for something else.
Java has added some keywords in the last 2 releases which caused problems for users who had used those same words as identifiers in the past.
Of course it can also be annoying as hell
