I have found an interesting bug on ColdFusion 8 and the multi-threaded capabilities of ColdBox. This is only to specific coldbox installation setups:
1) Virtual Folder in IIS
2) Apache Alias
If you use an alias or a virtual folder for installing coldbox, you will run into errors that the spawned threads will not be able to actually find the instantiation paths. Example:
coldbox.system.beans.requestContext
It seems that the coldfusion 8 spawned thread cannot find or use the virtual aliases or apache aliases. So if I cannot find a solution, which seems like I won't be able to. Then I will remove the installation type of aliases and virtual directories for colfusion 8 and bluedragon 7.
It seems that the installation procedures will have to remain as physical folders or coldfusion mappings only.
Please test this and let me know your results.

MatchBox Brings BoxLang to ESP32 Microcontrollers 🦀
One of the most unusual parts of MatchBox is the ESP32 target.
The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox, and it can compile BoxLang scripts into bytecode and deploy them to ESP32 microcontrollers. That means the same language used for scripts, native tools, web services, and browser logic can also run on a small embedded device.

UPDATE:
I have made this work by using a combination of a coldfusion mapping and the virtual folder.
