BoxLang vs the World : From zero to stable in 20 months

We’re not Big Tech. We’re builders. In under two years, we went from zero to a stable, next‑generation dynamic JVM language — created by developers, for developers. And we did it by embracing the era we live in: the age of AI. From design to implementation, we leveraged AI tooling and techniques to move faster, think broader, and deliver sooner.

Code changes. So should your language skills. One day, you’re building for the web. The next, for APIs, tablets, or serverless. The future is multi‑runtime. BoxLang is ready.

Dynamic. Modular. Productive. It’s expressive and functional, yet 100% Java‑compatible. It integrates anywhere, from legacy stacks to modern frameworks, with an instant Java ecosystem at your fingertips. Even a multi‑parser design lets you bring legacy code into a modern runtime without compromise.

From a 6 MB OS binary to running on CommandBox, Jakarta EE, AWS Lambda, Microsoft Functions, IoT, and more — BoxLang adapts to every runtime you throw at it.

This is the story of how we built a language from scratch with strict goals: speed, flexibility, and developer‑first design — proving that in the age of AI, a small, passionate team can deliver significant innovations.
