GraalVM: Run Programs Faster Anywhere
summary
GraalVM is a polyglot, embeddable VM that runs Java, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, JavaScript/Node, Ruby, R, Python and LLVM bytecode, and plugs into HotSpot via JVMCI as a drop-in JIT compiler. Demonstrations show a Java stream microbenchmark falling from ~174ns to ~9ns (about 20x faster), Scala often gaining 10–25%, and a native-image Spring app starting in ~24ms. It also offers unified interop and tooling, is used by Twitter for Scala services, and native images work but disallow dynamic class loading.
