Today we are announcing the availability of a new initiative to store and share sites, applications and companies that leverage ColdFusion (CMFL) and any of our Ortus Technology. This is a simple repository which ANYBODY can contribute to: https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/built-with-cfml-box.

You will be able to get your organization registered and which sites/apps use cfml and different Ortus technologies. We will also be automatically building a site out of this data packet where anybody can visualize and promote their organizations and sites that leverage CFML.

Contributing

To contribute, fork and ⭐️ the project. Then add your own organization file in the orgs directory and then append the name of that file ( excluding the extension ), in to the cfml-rocks.json array of orgs. You may use the schema below for reference. Send us your pull request and once validated, we will add it to the repo and site.

Organization/Company Schema - Add in the orgs directory


{
    "version" : "0.0.1",
    "orgs" : [
        "ortussolutions",
		"MyCompany"
    ]
}

Then your organization can look like this: orgs/MyCompany.json


{
    "name"       : string, // Required
    "patreon"    : boolean, // Optional (false)
    "description": string, // Optional
    "url"        : URL, // Optional
    "logo"       : URL, // Optional
    "sites"      : [ site ] // Optional
}

Site Schema

Each of the sites can have the following schema


{
    "title" : string, //required
    "url" : URL, // required
    "logo" : URL, // optional
    "engine" : "adobe", //optional - either `adobe` or `lucee
    // Anything on Forgebox you use
    "uses" : [
        "coldbox",
        "contentbox",
        "cborm",
        "quick",
        "commandbox"
        // Add any other forgebox slugs you use in your project ( e.g.  `cbelasticsearch`, `cbsecurity`, etc )
    ]
}

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.
