BoxLang Takes Jfokus 2025 by Storm
Jfokus 2025, one of the largest and most influential Java conferences, took place from February 3-5 in Stockholm, Sweden, bringing together over 2,000 developers, engineers, and JVM enthusiasts. This year, BoxLang made its grand debut on the international Java stage, and the response was nothing short of phenomenal!
As a Silver Sponsor, Ortus Solutions had an electrifying presence at the event, showcasing BoxLang, the newest, most innovative JVM language. With live demos, interactive coding sessions, and an insightful talk by Luis Majano, BoxLang captured the attention of attendees eager to explore a fresh, modular, and lightweight approach to Java development.
A Booth That Stole the Spotlight
From the moment the doors opened, our BoxLang booth was buzzing with activity. Developers from all over the world stopped by to learn about this powerful new language, and we made sure to keep things fun and engaging:
✅ Live Coding Demos – Developers loved seeing BoxLang in action more than just reading marketing material. Our TV screen showcased real-world BoxLang use cases, and attendees were eager to try it out on their own devices using Try.BoxLang.io.
🎁 Exclusive Swag – T-shirts, stickers, pens, and even BoxLang hoodies were up for grabs. The special BoxLang hoodie challenge (where the first 6 developers to write actual BoxLang code won a hoodie) was a massive success—they were gone on Day 1!
🛠️ Developer-Focused Conversations – Attendees were particularly interested in BoxLang’s modularity, ease of use, and Java interoperability. Many developers were blown away by how easy it was to integrate BoxLang into their existing Java projects.
👨💻 Engaging with the Community – The Swedish developer community was curious and open-minded. Even skeptics walked away intrigued and ready to dive deeper into BoxLang.
