BoxLang in Motion: Modern Web App Development
The Day 1 keynote at Into the Box 2026 was not simply a list of new BoxLang features.
It showed what happens when a language, compiler, runtime, deployment model, and developer ecosystem evolve together around one goal: helping teams build modern applications without unnecessary complexity.

Introducing BoxLang AI Explorer: A Local Catalog for Every AI Pattern
Learning a new AI API usually means jumping between scattered documentation pages, guessing at imports, and copy-pasting code that may or may not still work. We wanted something better for BoxLang AI, so we built the BoxLang AI Explorer: a local, browser-based catalog of runnable BoxLang AI examples, organized by category and difficulty, each with guidance, source code, and sample output.

BoxLang at Florida International University: Supporting the Next Generation of Modern Devs
The future of software development depends on more than the technologies we use. It depends on the people who learn to use them, improve them, challenge assumptions, and apply them to real-world problems.

Hi Luis,
There was a discussion in OpenBD list about the application naming in ColdBox which can cause problems etc.
Have you already seen it?

Yes, BD doesn't like dashes or spaces. Again, the naming of the Application.cfc is given with a default of a hash that does not use spaces or dashes. The cfthreads also do not use dashes or spaces, this was done for BD capabilities in 2.5. So they should hold true.
So far, I haven't run into any issues, apart from the server.coldfusion.productversion fix that was committed.

I have tried Coldbox on Open BlueDragon and it takes like 3 minutes to load and once it loads the sample files, it is just a blank screen....No errors or anything.

Sorry to say but coldbox no longer works on Open Bd (OBD 1.3/Tomcat). Everything seems broken in CB 3.0 (M6.2-318-GENESIS-14:14).
