Interested in what it looks like to extend BoxLang with modules? I've thrown together bx-waffle, a simple module you can install into BoxLang which provides you with a component (Tag), BIFs, a custom tag, and a global service you can use to plug in waffle pictures from the Flicker public API. The source code is very simple and uses NO JAVA. If you're wanting to get started on developing some BoxLang modules, this is a great started point: forgebox.io/view/bx-waffle

Java's hashCode() could return different results if flag options are inconsistent. Here's a (slower) #ColdFusion UDF alternative that returns consistent results.

After encountering #ColdFusion performance problems with CFDocument & CFPDF (watermark + merge) operations which totally just stopped working, I switched to #wkhtmltopdf & #qpdf.
- wkhtmltopdf: 540ms
- qpdf watermark: 54 ms
- qpdfmerge: 474 ms
Windows command line FTW!
