BoxLang vs. Java vs. MacHTTP-js vs. Objective-C Comparison Chart

BoxLang is a modern, dynamically and loosely typed scripting language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that supports Object-Oriented (OO) and Functional Programming (FP) constructs. It can be deployed on multiple platforms and all operating systems, web servers, Java application servers, AWS Lambda, WebAssembly, and more. BoxLang combines many features from different programming languages to provide developers with a modern, fluent, and expressive syntax. BoxLang has been designed to be a highly modular and dynamic language that takes advantage of all the modern features of the JVM. It is dynamically typed, which means there's no need to declare types. It can perform type inference, auto-casting, and promotions between different types. The language adjusts to its deployed runtime and can add, remove, or modify methods and properties at runtime.

MacHTTP-js is currently available for preview on macOS now. As a brand new application, MacHTTP-js includes features never envisioned in the original when it was first released in 1992. MacHTTP-js is written from the ground up using the node.js platform, which means it is a cross-platform application that can run on macOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems. MacHTTP-js is a full-featured Web server for 21st century desktops and servers. A "preview" release is available now for Mac users, followed by a general release for Windows 10 and Linux computers, including support for Docker. This is a full-featured release for macOS and other O/S versions will follow shortly.
