If you haven't registered yet for ColdBox Developers Week, please head over to our site to check out the full week of free training we'll be putting on June 17th - 21st.

Even if you have registered, I'm pleased to share that we've enhanced the session and speaker detail pages to detect your time zone based on your IP address and show you when the sessions will start in your time zone.  I've been very excited to see registrations coming in from all around the world (India is kicking it!) and after several timezone-related questions, it seemed we should do more than just show the basic US time zones.

So, please check it out. Your time zone would be highlighted in red.  Let me know if it doesn't seem correct.  If you access the Internet through a proxy, you might get incorrect behavior if your proxy doesn't pass along the HTTP_X_Forwarded_For value.

In related news, ForgeBox now has a cool new ColdBox plugin for GeoLocation based on IP address.  All you need is a free API key from http://www.ipinfodb.com and you can deliver localized content to your users too!

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.
