Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion
MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.
The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.
With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.

BoxLang 1.15.0 Released: Blazing Fast Strings, Runtime Portability, and much more
BoxLang 1.15.0 is a high-impact release with two big headlines and a long tail of hardening. The first headline is a massive performance upgrade to string handling: a new first-class BoxStringBuilder type, compile-time literal folding, smarter &= semantics, and a runtime concat strategy that automatically switches to builder-backed accumulation once your expression gets big enough. Your existing string-heavy code just got faster. No rewrites required.
MatchBox Web Server: BoxLang Without the Full Server Stack
MatchBox includes a native web runtime for building small, fast BoxLang web applications without requiring a JVM or a traditional servlet container. You can follow the MatchBox open beta at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox. There are two related pieces in the beta today: a webroot server for .bxm templates and static assets, and a routed app server built around web.server(). Both are early, but they show the direction clearly: BoxLang should be able to serve HTTP from a compact native runtime when the application does not need the full JVM stack.
