Why BoxLang Matters for ColdFusion Developers?

BoxLang is the next evolution of ColdFusion, designed to be a modern programming language for the JVM. Combining the power of the JVM with the simplicity of ColdFusion, BoxLang offers developers a tool that’s both powerful and easy to use. Here’s why BoxLang is a game-changer:

  1. Built on the JVM: BoxLang takes advantage of the entire Java ecosystem, opening up new possibilities for integration, scalability, and performance.
  2. Familiar Syntax for CFML Developers: BoxLang’s syntax is designed to be intuitive for ColdFusion developers, making it easier than ever to adopt without a steep learning curve.
  3. Modern and Scalable: With the JVM at its core, BoxLang is built for modern web applications, offering high-performance capabilities for developers tackling today's complex, large-scale projects.
  4. Multi Parsers: CFML & BoxLang: BoxLang supports a dual parser and transpiler to execute ColdFusion/CFML code natively (maybe more languages later).

As the creators of ColdBox, ContentBox, TestBox, and CFConfig, Ortus Solutions has always been committed to enhancing the ColdFusion experience. With BoxLang, we're continuing that commitment, which will help redefine the ColdFusion landscape for years.
