The amazing CFML community leader Ray Camden recently shared his thoughts on BoxLang, a dynamic scripting language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). BoxLang is lightweight (only 6 MB) and doesn’t require Java knowledge, making it accessible to developers from all backgrounds. Whether you're building CLI scripts, web applications, or experimenting with serverless architecture, BoxLang has you covered.

At Ortus Solutions, we are dedicated to delivering the best experience for our Into the Box attendees. This year’s event will be an exciting opportunity to explore BoxLang and modern CFML development, and we want to ensure that attending in person is even more rewarding.
