As BoxLang continues to evolve, we want to take a moment to reflect on the progress made so far. From early releases to new capabilities and growing adoption, this journey is being shaped by constant iteration and real-world feedback.

As we close out our 12 Days of BoxLang Christmas, we’re ending with something truly special — something built for early adopters, innovators, and teams who want to modernize confidently as we move into 2026.

Today, we’re excited to officially announce the BoxLang Pioneer Program.

This program is your opportunity to work closely with the BoxLang team, influence the roadmap, test new capabilities early, and prepare your applications for the next generation of JVM development.

As we head toward 2026, modern platforms still need to speak the language of the enterprise.

And in many organizations, that language is still SOAP.

With BoxLang 1.8.0, SOAP web services are no longer something you “tolerate” — they’re something you can work with fluently, safely, and cleanly.

Today, we’re exploring BoxLang’s native SOAP client, designed to make consuming SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 services feel natural, modern, and predictable.
