Interactive Learning with BoxLings

Learn BoxLang interactively with the BoxLings CLI learning tool

BoxLings is an interactive CLI learning tool for BoxLang, inspired by Rustlings. It teaches the language through progressive exercises where you fix intentional issues and use tests to verify behavior.

BoxLings is built in BoxLang and teaches both BoxLang fundamentals and Test-Driven Development (TDD/BDD) workflows.

BoxLings is part of the practical BoxLang tooling ecosystem:

• Hands-on learning with immediate feedback

• Test-first learning using TestBox specs

• A real-world CLI workflow for everyday BoxLang usage

• It's also a CLI app built in BoxLang
