ITB 2022 Podcast Series - Workshop - Legacy Code Conversion To The Modern World! with Dan Card

This podcast is a special podcast for attendees or undecided attendees, to get a view of what the workshop has to offer. This workshop Legacy Code Conversion To The Modern World! with Dan Card, will start with an app that has been created as a single .cfm page. During the day we’ll look at why the idea of refactoring is even worth considering if the code we have is working. What makes a site “traditional” vs “modern”? We’ll start off looking at the issues that usually drive working on your code and how refactoring is definitely a process and the accumulation of many small changes rather than an single massive event.

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.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Sets, Ranges, Inner Classes, and a Runtime That Talks Back

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Sets, Ranges, Inner Classes, and a Runtime That Talks Back

BoxLang has never stood still, but 1.14.0 is something different. This is the release where the language stops filling gaps and starts defining what a modern dynamic JVM language looks like on its own terms. Sixty-five issues closed. Four innovative language features. A formatter that has grown up. And a companion module - bx-mcp - that fundamentally changes how you operate a running BoxLang application with AI.
