We are very excited today to announce the immediate release of our first two extensions for Microsoft Visual Studio Code

ColdBox Extension


https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-coldbox

Our ColdBox Extension is very similar to our Sublime extension but better! I have to admit that VSCode is absolutely great and we have been able to not only release our collection of snippets but give you typeahead and scope recognition in this extension. Just type any of our recognized injections like:

  • controller
  • event
  • wirebox
  • cachebox
  • etc

And you will get nice autocompletion. Stay tuned as we have many many features planned for the extension.

TestBox Extension


https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-testbox

Our TestBox extension is a port of our Sublime extension with all of its snippets glory. Next versions will include more features, but for now snippets it is.

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.
