• A hierarchical approach to MVC using ColdBox Modules

• Event-driven programming

• Async and Parallel programming constructs

• Integration & Unit Testing

• Included dependency injection

• Much More

It provides a set of reusable code and tools that can be used to increase your development productivity, as well as a development standard for working in team environments.

What is BoxLang?

BoxLang is a modern dynamic JVM language developed by the ColdBox team 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, CFML, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP, to provide developers with a modern, functional and expressive syntax.

ColdBox has been designed to work in both BoxLang and CFML language engines. However, it is extremely optimized for BoxLang, since it is the same team that develops the language and the framework.
