Every enterprise runs on Word documents. Contracts. RFPs. Proposals. Board reports. Offer letters. HR handbooks. Compliance policies. Invoices. Statements of work. Legal memos.

BoxLang 1.15.0 is a high-impact release with two big headlines and a long tail of hardening. The first headline is a massive performance upgrade to string handling: a new first-class BoxStringBuilder type, compile-time literal folding, smarter &= semantics, and a runtime concat strategy that automatically switches to builder-backed accumulation once your expression gets big enough. Your existing string-heavy code just got faster. No rewrites required.

You launch your BoxLang application, traffic flows, schedulers execute, caches warm, threads spin. And when something goes wrong, you jump between logs, dashboards, admin panels, and monitoring tools to piece together the full picture. Meanwhile, your AI coding assistant only understands your source code. It has no visibility into your running application. It cannot tell you why your thread pool is saturated, whether cache performance is degrading, or which scheduled task silently failed overnight.

JWT authentication is everywhere. But rolling it correctly — with proper algorithm enforcement, key management, clock skew handling, JWE encryption, and zero security footguns — is anything but trivial. Today, we're shipping bx-jwt, a production-ready JWT/JWE module for BoxLang that handles all of it out of the box, so you can focus on building, not fighting cryptography.

BoxLang AI 3.2.0 is here, and it's a landmark release. We're shipping five major features — image generation, web search, a fluent audio builder API, a centralized agent registry, and deep MCP observability — along with a suite of analytics improvements and a critical bug fix. Let's dig in. 🎉

We listen. A lot. And one message has come through loud and clear from our community: teams want a way to get into the BoxLang ecosystem with commercial licensing, real tooling, and actual support — without jumping straight to a full BoxLang+ subscription.

BoxLang 1.13.0 is here, and it marks an important step forward for the platform. This release includes 48 tickets—every one of them completed—reflecting a focused effort on CFML compatibility, a more robust concurrency engine, a production-hardened miniserver, and meaningful tooling improvements.

BoxLang AI 3.1 is here, and it's a release that makes your agents smarter, faster, and more capable than ever. 🎉

We just shipped the BoxLang Google Cloud Functions Runtime — and it brings the same write-once-run-anywhere serverless experience you already know from our AWS Lambda runtime, now running natively on Google Cloud Functions Gen2.

We believe the best way to learn a programming language is by writing code — real code, with real feedback, and real tests. That's exactly why we built BoxLings.
