Jfokus has been the birth of BoxLang for the Java community. So Incredibly well received. We even had folks coding on their phones on https://try.boxlang.io for some sweet hoodies. What an amazing event. So much great feedback and amazing response to finally having momentum in the dynamic JVM space.
We will definitely be back in 2026 In force.
