If you've been waiting to play with ColdBox, or tried in the past and gave up, we want to invite you to come check out our ColdBox Lite Kickoff Event at Noon CST on Wednesday November 14th.
 
Team ColdBox will be announcing the lastest step in the life of the ColdBox framework.  We have heard your requests for a smaller, more lightweight version of ColdBox for people who simply want blazing fast MVC conventions without worring about the extra tooling they don't need right now.  As a result, we have finished the final step in our collection of *Box frameworks by extracting just the MVC core of ColdBox to stand on its own.  The result is a lean, mean, lightweight MVC framework weighing in at about 500K in size.  
 
ColdBox Lite follows the same simple conventions and is fully cross-compatible with regular ColdBox.  When you're ready to upgrade to the regular version, it will be a simple matter of dropping in the full platform and switching your apps bootstrap point in Application.cfc.
 
The ColdBox Lite Kickoff Event will be a special edition of our ColdBox Connection series and will be in the regular meeting room:

Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion

MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.

The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.

With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.
