What Is This GraalVM Thing?
summary
GraalVM is presented as a high-performance polyglot virtual machine that runs JVM languages (Java, Scala, Kotlin, Clojure) and embeds guest languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R, C and C++. The talk explains how GraalVM improves Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation and also supports Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation, describing when AOT can be beneficial. It concludes with an overview of the Truffle framework for implementing new languages to run on GraalVM.
