We've just released a minor release of CommandBox, our CLI, REPL, Package Manager, and Embedded server.  This version has a number of small fixes to CommandBox as well as the embedded libraries like Runwar.  We've polished up some things like piping content and new high-res icons.  There are also some fancy new features like specifying a max heap size for your embedded server:

CommandBox> start heapSize=768

And finally, the ability to install packages from a Git repo is here!

install git://github.com/username/repoName.git

And this nice shortcut for installing from GitHub:

install username/repoName

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.
