We are excited that Into The Box is coming back for another round in 2015.  ITB is a 1-day, 2-track conference happening the day before dev.Objective().  It was sold out last year and can only get bigger and better.

ITB is put on by Ortus Solutions, the makers of the ColdBox MVC platform.  While ColdBox is the flagship product of Ortus, their repertoire has grown to include tunes of CMSs, NoSQL, security, and performance.  Many of the hits on Ortus' playlist such as WireBox, CacheBox, LogBox, and CacheBox got their start in the ColdBox platform before they set out on their own.  They're available to any CFML developer these days, but we'll always consider them part of our family.  

So it's only fitting that ITB will not only be about ColdFusion's de-facto MVC platform but about the full line of productivity tools offered by Ortus-- most of which are open source like ColdBox.  We're still busy hashing out the exact topic titles and if you have suggestions or are open to actually presenting a session, check out the call for speakers over on the ITB blog.  

For the rest of you, the registration form for ITB 2015 is already open so head on over and get your ticket now.  Also, watch for discounts coming soon for dev.Objective() attendees.  See you there!

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.
