I built a Slack clone in BoxLang

Robert built a Slack clone on BoxLang with no bundler, no database, no auth. Channels are free because addresses are free. Presence isn't stored, it's derived. DMs are channels with computed names. Two bugs taught me more than the features: frames aren't ordered, and `content-length` counts bytes.

Do you want to play a game (again)?

Robert rebuilt his 8-year-old Vue D&D combat app in BoxLang, using SocketBox/WebSockets for real-time state. Features SRD 5.2 character creation, turn-based combat with fog-of-war, and a chunked map system with dual-layer tiles and POI markers. Encounter state lives server-side; ~300 TestBox tests cover it.
