Welcome to ForgeBoxForgeBox is our new project completely online that will serve the ColdBox community.  ForgeBox is a repository for code entries that spawn from anything ColdBox (plugins, interceptors, apps, code, etc) to anything CodexWiki (plugins, interceptors, parsers, themes, etc).  Not only that, it leverages our latest ColdBox 3.0 features, built in exactly 3 days thanks to ColdBox and Transfer.  Please also remember that we have our own ColdBox Community development space that you can take advantage off.  We can host your projects if you need in git or svn and even have tons of collaboration tools.  Just send us an email at info@coldbox.org and we will create the account for you.  You can then start rocking with ColdBox!

ForgeBox also sports a cool REST API service and of course, in our documentation tradition, fully documented using our new wiki.  Again, we are slowly migrating our documentation to our new wiki, but we will get there soon.

So what can you do with ForgeBox? Well, first of all, register your account with us and start contributing your code.  You can then also get funky and start building interfaces, iphone apps, or whatever you like with our REST API.  At the moment, our API is very basic, but it will grow as usage increases and we add more features.

Also, please free to enter your feedback about ForgeBox and how it can be improved!  And no kidding, I built it in about 3 days, ColdBox to the max!!

Ease of use, reliability and versatility were the cornerstones of the ForgeBox development.

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.
