The first headline is a massive performance upgrade to string handling: a new first-class BoxStringBuilder type, compile-time literal folding, smarter &= semantics, and a runtime concat strategy that automatically switches to builder-backed accumulation once your expression gets big enough. Your existing string-heavy code just got faster. No rewrites required. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/boxlang-1150-released-blazing-fast-strings-runtime-portability-and-much-more lmajano@ortussolutions.com (Luis Majano) BoxLang Community Into The Box News Releases https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/boxlang-1150-released-blazing-fast-strings-runtime-portability-and-much-more MatchBox includes a native web runtime for building small, fast BoxLang web applications without requiring a JVM or a traditional servlet container. You can follow the MatchBox open beta at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox. There are two related pieces in the beta today: a webroot server for .bxm templates and static assets, and a routed app server built around web.server(). Both are early, but they show the direction clearly: BoxLang should be able to serve HTTP from a compact native runtime when the application does not need the full JVM stack. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/matchbox-web-server-bl-without-the-full-server-stack vcampos@ortussolutions.com (Victor Campos) https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/matchbox-web-server-bl-without-the-full-server-stack July was packed with exciting advancements across the Ortus ecosystem, bringing new BoxLang releases, powerful developer tools, and continued innovation in AI and multi-runtime development. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/ortus-boxlang-june-recap-2026 vcampos@ortussolutions.com (Victor Campos) https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/ortus-boxlang-june-recap-2026 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. Session: Ortus Keynote: BoxLang — Return of Dynamic Language Slides: View the keynote slides 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. Session: The Making of a Language Slides: View the slides 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. Session: MatchBox: A New BoxLang VM for WASM and Embedded Slides: View the slides 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. Session: Workshop: Alpine.js Slides: View the slides 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. Session: ColdBox 8 in the Age of AI Slides: View the slides 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. Session: Vector Search with PostgreSQL Slides: View the slides Thank You, CFCamp CFCamp continues to be one of the most important gatherings for the CFML, ColdFusion, Lucee, BoxLang, and modern web development communities.

The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox, and it can compile BoxLang scripts into bytecode and deploy them to ESP32 microcontrollers. That means the same language used for scripts, native tools, web services, and browser logic can also run on a small embedded device. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/matchbox-brings-boxlang-to-esp32-microcontrollers vcampos@ortussolutions.com (Victor Campos) https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/matchbox-brings-boxlang-to-esp32-microcontrollers Every production application carries secrets: database passwords, API tokens, encryption keys. The question is never whether to manage them -- it's how badly the current approach is going to hurt you. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/boxlang-aws-azure-and-google-secrets-manager-module-released lmajano@ortussolutions.com (Luis Majano) BoxLang News OpenSource Releases https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/boxlang-aws-azure-and-google-secrets-manager-module-released In Part 1, we covered BoxLang's first-class range system: lazy evaluation, exclusive boundaries, built-in types (integers, decimals, characters, dates), custom stepping, Java Stream integration, and contains() semantics.

If you've ever created a throwaway .bx file just to hold a five-line helper class, this one's for you. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/boxlang-1140-local-template-classes-define-classes-right-where-you-need-them lmajano@ortussolutions.com (Luis Majano) BoxLang News OpenSource Releases https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/boxlang-1140-local-template-classes-define-classes-right-where-you-need-them 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. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/matchbox-and-webassembly-running-boxlang-in-the-browser-and-at-the-edge mherrera@ortussolutions.com (Maria Jose Herrera) https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/matchbox-and-webassembly-running-boxlang-in-the-browser-and-at-the-edge Discover how BoxLang’s multi-runtime architecture helps developers build beyond the server with support for serverless functions, desktop applications, CI/CD workflows, Java integrations, containers, runtime management, and more. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/one-language-every-runtime-boxlang-expands-beyond-the-server vcampos@ortussolutions.com (Victor Campos) https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/one-language-every-runtime-boxlang-expands-beyond-the-server
