CFCamp 2026 was an important milestone for the Ortus Solutions team and for the growing BoxLang ecosystem.
This year, Ortus Solutions participated as a Platinum Sponsor and had the honor of leading the official Keynote, where Luis Majano, Brad Wood, and Jacob Beers shared major updates around ColdBox, BoxLang, AI, and multi-runtime support.
The message was clear: the CFML ecosystem is not standing still. With BoxLang, ColdBox, CommandBox, and our expanding AI capabilities, Ortus is helping developers modernize applications, extend existing investments, and build for a future that is more flexible, more intelligent, and more runtime-independent.
Leading the CFCamp 2026 Keynote
The Ortus keynote, “BoxLang: Return of Dynamic Language”, brought together Luis Majano, Brad Wood, and Jacob Beers to present the latest evolution of BoxLang and the broader Ortus ecosystem.
The keynote focused on how BoxLang continues to push the boundaries of dynamic language development, giving teams a modern runtime that can operate across different environments while preserving the productivity and expressiveness that developers value in CFML-style development.

A Deep Dive into the Making of BoxLang
Brad Wood delivered “The Making of a Language”, a technical deep dive into BoxLang’s implementation and runtime architecture.
This session explored what it takes to build a modern programming language, including runtime architecture, services, contexts, scopes, type systems, casters, operators, parsers, and the internal machinery that makes BoxLang work.
For developers interested in language design, compiler implementation, or the future of CFML-compatible runtimes, this was one of the most technically rich sessions of the event.

MatchBox: BoxLang Beyond the Traditional Runtime
Jacob Beers introduced MatchBox, a new BoxLang VM designed for WASM, native, and embedded deployments.
This session showed how BoxLang is moving beyond traditional server-side execution and into new runtime targets, including WebAssembly and embedded environments such as ESP32. This opens the door to using BoxLang in places where dynamic languages have not traditionally been practical.

Mastering Alpine.js
Abilio Posada led a practical workshop on Alpine.js, focused on helping developers build dynamic user interfaces with a lightweight JavaScript framework.
The workshop gave attendees a hands-on look at how Alpine.js can simplify frontend interactivity without requiring the complexity of larger JavaScript frameworks.

ColdBox 8 in the Age of AI
Luis Majano presented “ColdBox 8 in the Age of AI”, a session focused on how advanced AI capabilities can be integrated into ColdBox applications.
The session explored the idea of agentic ColdBox applications, where AI is not treated as a bolt-on feature, but as part of the architecture for building more intelligent, automated, and context-aware applications.

Giving Agents a Memory with PostgreSQL Vector Search
Jacob Beers also presented “Giving Agents a Memory: Vector Search with PostgreSQL”, a session focused on how vector search can be used to give AI agents access to relevant contextual memory.
This topic is especially important for teams exploring practical AI adoption. Vector search allows applications to retrieve semantically relevant information, enabling more useful AI workflows, better retrieval-augmented generation, and more intelligent agent behavior.

Thank You, CFCamp
CFCamp continues to be one of the most important gatherings for the CFML, ColdFusion, Lucee, BoxLang, and modern web development communities.
For Ortus Solutions, CFCamp 2026 was a powerful opportunity to connect with developers, partners, and technology leaders who are thinking seriously about modernization, AI, runtime flexibility, and the future of dynamic languages.
We are grateful to the CFCamp organizers, attendees, speakers, and sponsors who made this event possible.
As Platinum Sponsor and Keynote leaders, we were proud to contribute to the conversation and share what we are building with BoxLang, ColdBox, and the Ortus ecosystem.
The future of CFML and dynamic language development is not only alive. It is evolving fast.
