Thanks to everyone who came out to my presentation today on How To Be a Good Open Source Citizen. I hope you learned a ton and are excited to start moving from a consumer to a contributor. I, as a good citizen in training, have my slide deck out on GitHub.
You can find the code for it at https://github.com/gratzc/how-to-be-a-good-os-citizen or you can just view the presentation online at http://gratzc.github.io/how-to-be-a-good-os-citizen/#/intro.

Discover how BoxLang’s multi-runtime architecture helps developers build beyond the server with support for serverless functions, desktop applications, CI/CD workflows, Java integrations, containers, runtime management, and more.
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 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.
