GraalVM

“I kinda hoped for GraalVM's solution would make it relatively as-is to open jdk”

“GraalVM lets you initialize parts of the app statically at build time”

“There are other solutions that give you MUCH faster startup with lower memory”

“even with GraalVM AOT it still tends to take significantly more memory than even naive Rust code”

“GraalVM’s new WebAssembly support finally made this possible”

“two compiles to native stories (KMP and GraalVM-native)”

“if you're serious in your work, you can just GraalVM it and you have an AOT compiled executable that works great.”

“GraalVM already handles LLVM bitcode, much cooler than plain MSIL.”

“Graal itself seems to loosing steam, because their multi-language VM never got enough adoption”

“graalvm is limited outside the entreprise version, and it's quite slow to compile with”

“generating a binary via GraalVM and taking care of options”

“GraalVM is even faster but much more complicated/annoying to get right”

“you can get native AOT executables that launch quickly”

“then GraalVM is probably still the best option for AOT”

“The closed source version is faster in many cases, but the CE release in very capable.”

“Licensing was why I didn't adopt it, so glad to hear it's improved.”

“statically compiled binaries on linux worked well for me”

“Native Image and the polyglot story are impressive.”

“Generally startup time is significantly improved, so if you're writing command line tools in particular it can be cool.”

“I'm sure GraalVM is nice enough technology”

“especially with Graal offering even more options”

“Eats gigabytes of memory to compile super simple application.”

“you can get it fast while consuming less memory. But now your build is slow”

“it can even compile to native binaries using GraalVM”

“I'm using GraalVM that executes JS on the server.”

“Adding the JVM or even GraalVM (which is what Babashka is based on) makes the bootstrapping that much harder.”

“There's an exact one to one algorithmic correspondence between an interpreted program and the compiled version of that.”

“You can use the EE for free, both for personal and commercial use cases”

“looks like it did work in GraalVM 21 and just issue on future versions”

“Okay, I hear this can be solved by Graal, but that's a whole piece of its own complexity”

“GraalVM compiled Java is more than speedy.”

“Both are practically usable, no question, but the latter really felt”

“Graal would be needed and then your binaries would be huge.”

“the sandboxing feature isn't in the "community edition"”

“supports running javascript in a sandbox with a bunch of convenient options for running untrusted code”

“Most runtimes optimize one language. We optimized across language boundaries.”

“GraalVM and OpenJ9 are available for free”

“they're currently doing some interesting stuff with Quarkus and GraalVM that might lead to a jvm-free binary at some point”

“hell with graalvm can be ported to native.”

“Graal and Truffle make the JVM look attractive, especially for this case!”
