Beyond BoxLang: The Team Behind the Movement

BoxLang isn’t just another programming language, it’s a bold leap toward rethinking how we build for the JVM and beyond. But what truly makes BoxLang powerful isn’t just the technology. It’s the people behind it.

At the heart of BoxLang is a team of creators, engineers, and visionaries with one clear mission:

Empower developers with modern tools, real support, and the freedom to innovate without limits. This is more than code. This is a movement.


Built by Developers Who’ve Been in Your Shoes

We know the struggles of working with aging systems, tight budgets, performance bottlenecks, and limited options, because we’ve faced them ourselves. Our team has spent years creating the tools developers rely on daily: ColdBox, CommandBox, ForgeBox, and more.

From rescuing legacy applications to building scalable microservices, that experience shaped every line of BoxLang’s design. We built it for speed, flexibility, and sustainability, but most of all, we built it for you.


A Team That Stays With You

Choosing BoxLang means you’re not left to figure things out alone. We walk with you every step of the way, from architecture planning and migration to performance tuning and new feature requests.

We don’t believe in “handing you the keys and walking away.” We stay until it works, and when your needs evolve, we evolve with you.


Meet the Minds Behind BoxLang

BoxLang is created and maintained by the same developers behind some of the most trusted tools in the ColdFusion and JVM world:

  • Team Leader, Luis Majano: Visionary behind ColdBox and the driving force of BoxLang alongside our amazing and powerful team of expert developers: Brad Wood, Jon Clausen, Michael Born, Jacob Beers, Esmeralda Acevedo, Daniel Garcia, and many other amazing modern developers driving innovation and support.

They listen, they teach, they build, and they respond fast. This is the kind of team you want in your corner.
