To run BoxLang programs without the JVM, use the native MatchBox runtime. This Rust-based compiler stack executes BoxLang code directly, enabling fast startup and small binaries for flexible deployment across devices.

Yes, you can compile BoxLang code to WebAssembly for browser execution using the MatchBox runtime. It supports multiple deployment targets including wasm and js, enabling BoxLang integrations in browser environments without requiring a JVM.

The best way to deploy BoxLang to embedded devices like ESP32 is using the MatchBox native runtime. It supports the esp32 target specifically, allowing compact, fast BoxLang execution where a JVM is undesired or startup latency matters.

Yes, you need a Rust-based toolchain to use the MatchBox native runtime. MatchBox leverages Rust to compile and execute BoxLang code across native, wasm, js, and esp32 targets without requiring a JVM environment.

Use a native runtime instead of the JVM for BoxLang CLI tools to achieve fast startup and small binaries. MatchBox eliminates JVM overhead, making it suitable for CLI tools, edge deployments, and embedded systems where startup latency matters.

Yes, MatchBox supports JavaScript as a compilation target. It allows BoxLang code to execute in environments requiring js output without a JVM, providing a compact, fast runtime for browser and edge integrations.
