I have know Rob for quite some time know and have been pestering him to give ColdBox a shot. He has now fallen and seen the light. I am happy to announce that Rob Gonda will be contributing to ColdBox architecture & development. His experience and software engineering skills are a true asset to this small team. He has already inspected almost the entire code base and is coming up with some incredible new features and tools. This is truly great news as ColdBox solidifies itself in the community and businesses around the world. So please welcome Rob to the team and for a brighter development future for ColdBox.

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.
