Into the Box 2026 - Keynote - Day 1

Mike's Notes

A video of the keynote speech at Into the Box 2026. Very impressive BoxLang progress, including these new features;

• Rust VM
• BoxLang Administrator
• BoxLang Desktop
• AI Administrator
• etc

I will put up all the videos, day 1, day 2, etc.

Pipi 10 (2027-2028)

Pipi 10 will run on BoxLang, continue to use CFML, and also support through its multi-parser architecture, BoxLang, Cobol, Groovy,  Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Rust. More languages are coming.

Pipi Codebase

Over time, Pipi will self-migrate its existing CFML codebase to other languages based on performance, feature set, and other factors. All code languages are great; some are better for some jobs.
