BoxLang: Multi-Runtime Dynamic JVM Language

BoxLang is a modern dynamic JVM language that can be deployed on multiple runtimes: operating system (Windows/Mac/nix/Embedded), web server, lambda, iOS, android, web assembly, and more. BoxLang combines many features from different programming languages, including Java, ColdFusion, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP, to provide developers with a modern and expressive syntax.

BoxLang has been designed to be a highly adaptable and dynamic language to take advantage of all the modern features of the JVM and was designed with several goals in mind:

• Be a rapid application development (RAD) scripting language and middleware;.
• Unstagnate the dynamic language ecosystem within Java.
• Be dynamic, modular, lightweight, and fast.
• Be 100% interoperable with Java.
• Be modern, functional, and fluent (Think mixing CFML, Node, Kotlin, Java, and Clojure)
• Be able to support the following runtime environments and future runtimes through modularity:
  • Native OS Binaries (CLI Tooling, compilers, etc.)
  • Servlet Containers - CommandBox/Tomcat/Jetty/JBoss
  • Serverless (AWS Lambda/Azure Functions)
  • JSR-223 Common JVM Scripting API
  • Android/iOS Devices
  • Web assembly
• Compile down to Java ByteCode
• Allow backward compatibility with the ColdFusion/CFML Language
