Sean Corfield blogged about a new rating that places ColdFusion as the 19th most popular language.

This comes from the TIOBE Programming Community Index for November 2005.  Now on the surface, 19th doesn't sound exceptionally impressive, but this isn't "web language", this is all languages as defined by the Wikipedia definition for "language".  The most notable thing to me is how dramatically it has jumped (note the green arrows).  It think that is far more significant than the position itself.
