Ortus Solutions is proud to announce that one of our newest steps in our Modernize or Die ® movement, announced at Into the Box 2019, is now launched. The Modernize or Die Podcast CFML News Edition launched a couple of weeks back, but now, the SoapBox edition has been launched as well.

Unlike the CFML News Edition, hosted by Gavin and Andrew live on YouTube every week, the SoapBox edition will be more of an interview style format. The first few episodes have been released, with Luis Majano being the guest, talking about the Call to Arms to the community to encourage everyone to step to make our community even better, the History of ColdBox / Ortus Solutions, and the State of ColdBox. We have a lot more episodes scheduled with Brad Wood, Sam Knowlton, Pete Freitag, Brian Klass and maybe more as dive deeper into the ColdFusion Community Members, where we'll discuss their tools, frameworks, modules, workflows, lessons learned and best practices, and much more.

Most importantly, where can you watch / listen to the podcast?

12 Days of BoxLang - Day 4: TestBox

Today we’re celebrating one of the most exciting new additions to the BoxLang ecosystem:

the TestBox BoxLang CLI Runner — a fast, native way to run your TestBox tests directly through the BoxLang Runtime. ⚡

No server required. No CommandBox needed. Just pure, ultra-fast BoxLang-powered testing from the command lineon Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you’re building modern applications with BoxLang — web apps, CLIs, serverless functions, Android apps, or OS-level utilities — this new feature gives you a unified, flexible testing workflow you can run anywhere.

12 days of BoxLang - Day 3: SocketBox!

As BoxLang continues evolving into a modern, high-performance, JVM-based runtime, real-time communication becomes essential for the applications we all want to build: dashboards, collaboration tools, notifications, live feeds, multiplayer features, and more.

That’s where SocketBox steps in — the WebSocket upgrade listener built to work seamlessly with CommandBox and the BoxLang MiniServer. ⚡

Today, for Day 3, we’re highlighting how SocketBox supercharges BoxLang development by giving you fast, flexible, and framework-agnostic WebSocket capabilities.
