The Future of CFScript

I wasd just reading some comments about the announcements yesterday on ECMAscript.

It seems that Adobe's attempt to make ECMAScript 4 standards based around AS3 have failed, which is a pity but understandable in the circumstances.

One of the comments on Josh's Blog was comparing Adobe (AS1, AS2, AS3, JSFL, MXML, Lingo, ColdFusion, etc etc) and Microsoft Languages (C#, Silverlight, ASP, XNA). This made me wonder what it would be like to have AS3 as an option in ColdFusion to replace CFScript. OK so I know we can already use AS3 in CF8 as a client language but what about the server?

Is there a need to standardise in this way? Do the things I want to do on the client have enough commonality with what I want to do on the server to use the same language?

What do you think?
