Day 12 Introducing the BoxLang Pioneer Program! 🎄

Be the first to shape the future of the JVM’s newest language and get a FREE BoxLang Compatibility Audit.

As we close out our 12 Days of BoxLang Christmas, we’re ending with something truly special — something built for early adopters, innovators, and teams who want to modernize confidently as we move into 2026.

Today, we’re excited to officially announce the BoxLang Pioneer Program.

This program is your opportunity to work closely with the BoxLang team, influence the roadmap, test new capabilities early, and prepare your applications for the next generation of JVM development.


🚀 What Is the BoxLang Pioneer Program?

A select, invitation-based initiative for teams and developers who want to explore, adopt, and help refine BoxLang during its early lifecycle.

Pioneers receive:

🔹 Direct Access to BoxLang Engineers

Work with the team that built the language.

Get guidance, answers, and support tailored to your application.

🔹 Early Access to New Runtimes, Modules & Features

Preview and test upcoming capabilities before they’re publicly released.

🔹 Migration & Modernization Assistance

Understand exactly how your CFML and Java applications can evolve with BoxLang.

🔹 Private Pioneer Slack Channel

A dedicated communication space with engineers + fellow pioneers.

🔹 Real Influence on BoxLang’s Evolution

Your real-world use cases help shape improvements in 2026 and beyond.


🎁 Special Christmas Gift

⭐ FREE BoxLang Compatibility Audit (Limited-Time Offer)

For the holiday season, every approved Pioneer Program applicant will receive a free high-level compatibility audit of their existing CFML/Java application stack.

Your audit includes:

  • CFML feature & module usage evaluation
  • Compatibility review with bx-compat-cfml
  • Identification of migration opportunities
  • Recommended modernization paths
  • Risk/blocker assessment
  • Incremental adoption strategy (no rewrites needed)

This is typically a paid assessment — but for the Christmas season, it’s free.


💡 Who Should Join the Pioneer Program?

Ideal for teams who:

✔ Maintain long-standing or complex CFML applications

✔ Want to modernize without rewriting from scratch

✔ Want JVM performance with a more modern developer experience

✔ Are building new projects in BoxLang

✔ Prefer direct access to core engineering teams

✔ Want to help shape the 2026 language roadmap

If that’s you — welcome. You’re exactly who this program is built for.


🏆 Why Launch a Pioneer Program Now?

Because 2026 is the year BoxLang scales.

The roadmap includes:

  • More web runtimes
  • More enterprise modules
  • Bigger IDE ecosystem
  • Advanced CFML compatibility
  • Enhanced AI and cloud integrations
  • A growing open-source module library
  • More performance primitives & language features

Early partners help accelerate what’s coming next.

Day 11 BoxLang SOAP: Enterprise Integrations Made Simple! 🎄

As we head toward 2026, modern platforms still need to speak the language of the enterprise.

With BoxLang 1.8.0, SOAP web services are no longer something you “tolerate” — they’re something you can work with fluently, safely, and cleanly.

Today, we’re exploring BoxLang’s native SOAP client, designed to make consuming SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 services feel natural, modern, and predictable.
