This webinar explores Ortus Solutions' 20-year history of creating open-source tools and introduces their latest innovation designed to support workflows in the artificial intelligence era. The Ortus Solutions Ecosystem ColdBox: The first hierarchical, conventions-based MVC framework for the JVM, focused on modularity and REST development. CommandBox: A powerful native command-line interface (CLI) tool, package manager, and embedded server. ContentBox: A modular and headless open-source CMS powered by ColdBox and BoxLang. BoxLang: The Future of Dynamic Languages Modern and Dynamic: A modular, dynamically typed scripting language (similar to Python or JavaScript) created for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Rust. Lightweight and Efficient: Its base footprint is only 7MB, making it extremely fast compared to other traditional dynamic languages. Total Interoperability: Offers 100% native compatibility with any Java ecosystem library and seamless execution of legacy ColdFusion (CFML) code. Multi-Runtime Deployment: Capable of running across multiple platforms, including desktop applications, AWS Lambda (Serverless), Docker, WebAssembly (WASM) in the browser, and upcoming support for Android/iOS. New Tools and Runtimes MatchBox: A Rust-based virtual machine that allows running BoxLang on embedded devices (like ESP32 microcontrollers) and lightweight environments without needing the JVM. Try BoxLang (try.boxlang.io): An interactive, online AWS Lambda-based environment to execute and test BoxLang code directly from the web browser with zero installation. BoxLings: An interactive, gamified command-line application designed to teach BoxLang through hands-on exercises based on Test-Driven Development (TDD).https://vimeo.com/122467681111322026-09-07T06:00:00+00:00yesfalsenoBoxLang
