I got word today that I could post this story, so here it is.
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory has adopted ColdBox for their web application development on several projects. This is very good news for the ColdBox and ColdFusion community as more and more companies are adopting ColdBox as their framework and software toolkit.Another announcement is that two books are in the works. I have started to compose a definitive guide and a pocket reference guide. This will be part of a corporate training package that I will be planning to offer for 2008. So companies can benefit from physical training materials as ColdBox moves into the POSS (Professional Open Source Software) arena. The books will be self-published via on-demand. However, if you are a publisher or know of a publisher that would be interested in creating these training materials with me, please contact me offline at lmajano@ortussolutions.com.
As 2.5.0 reaches completion, more and more success stories will be posted. Also a new section in the wiki has been created to showcase companies, applications and websites that are using ColdBox technology. So if you are interested in showing up your company, website or application built on ColdBox, then please submit it to this post, the google mailing list or info@coldboxframework.com.
There are only two guides left for update before a final release of ColdBox 2.5.0 becomes a reality. So stay tuned as a release could happen any day now.

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.
BoxLang AWS, Azure, and Google Secrets Manager Module Released
Every production application carries secrets: database passwords, API tokens, encryption keys. The question is never whether to manage them -- it's how badly the current approach is going to hurt you.
BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxLang Ranges Part 2: Teach BoxLang Your Types with `IRangeable`
In Part 1, we covered BoxLang's first-class range system: lazy evaluation, exclusive boundaries, built-in types (integers, decimals, characters, dates), custom stepping, Java Stream integration, and contains() semantics. If you haven't read it yet, start there.

That's great news! There is a 'rocket science' joke in there somewhere....

I guess NASA does things right sometimes.

And of course the lame joke about how this news is going to 'propel' Coldbox to the next level.
Sorry.
Congrats, Luis!
