BoxLang Evolved!

BoxLang is the newest JVM language that can support running not only BoxLang language files but CFML files with our bx-compat-cfml module. In TestBox 6.1.0 you can now leverage TestBox without the need of the CFML compatibility module. Making it native to BoxLang. This is now our last step in the introduction of bx-testbox that will come in the following weeks. This will be a native compiled version of TestBox that will be part of our VSCode extension and Testing Framework for VSCode. Stay tuned!

Our loving project MockDataCFC has been renamed and done a major version bump. It is now cbMockData version 4.0.0. TestBox comes with it and it has been updated to support native BoxLang executions.

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.
