We had an incredible time at Open South Code 2025, held in the vibrant city of Málaga, Spain. As one of the most important Open Source events in Europe, it was an honor for Ortus Solutions to participate as Gold Sponsors, showcasing the power and potential of BoxLang, our new dynamic language for the JVM.

BoxLang: A New Dynamic JVM Language

Our CEO, Luis Majano, delivered a well-received session titled:

“BoxLang: A New Dynamic JVM Language”

View session details

In this talk, Luis introduced BoxLang as a modern, modular, and cloud-native language that brings new life to the JVM ecosystem. With full CFML compatibility, deep Java interoperability, and the ability to run in environments like AWS Lambda, Docker, and GraalVM, BoxLang represents a major leap forward for developers looking for flexibility, performance, and productivity.

The audience responded with strong interest, and the presentation sparked engaging conversations about the future of dynamic languages on the JVM.

A Thriving Open Source Community

At Ortus Solutions, we are passionate about Open Source. Being part of such an active, diverse, and forward-thinking community at Open South Code reminds us why we do what we do. We met developers, architects, and tech leaders from across Europe and beyond, all working to push the boundaries of innovation and collaboration.

We are grateful to be part of this ecosystem, and we look forward to contributing even more in the future.

What’s Next for BoxLang?

Our journey with BoxLang is just beginning. We believe it has the potential to become a major player in modern JVM development, and events like Open South Code are critical for building awareness, gathering feedback, and growing the community.

Thank you, Málaga, and thank you Open South Code, for creating such an inspiring space for developers and creators.

We’re excited about what lies ahead.
