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.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part 4 : WriteDump Enhanced!

You call writeDump() on an ORM entity or a very rich class graph . The browser locks up. Thirty seconds later you get a page with forty thousand rows on it, you scroll for a while, you give up, and you go edit your code to dump a sub-key instead. Or worse, you crash the server.

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

LLM applications face a class of attack traditional input validation was never built for: prompt injection. An attacker embeds instructions in user input, a retrieved document, a web page your tool fetched, or an MCP result, trying to override your system prompt, exfiltrate data, or hijack a tool call. BoxLang AI 3.4.0 ships four layered, configurable defenses against exactly this, plus one more that's on unconditionally.
