Graal - High-Performance Polyglot Runtime

Explore the future of execution runtimes with this 52-minute conference talk on Graal, an integrated, polyglot, high-performance execution environment. Discover how Graal's new just-in-time compiler for the Java Virtual Machine supports not only Java-based languages like Scala and Kotlin but also provides a dynamic language implementation framework for JavaScript, Ruby, and R. Learn about Graal's seamless integration of lower-level languages such as C, C++, Go, and Rust into its ecosystem. Gain insights into Graal's capabilities for language interoperability while maintaining world-class performance for individual languages. Get a preview of the low footprint ahead-of-time compiled Graal-enabled VM for embedded environments and microservices requiring fast startup. Presented by Thomas Wuerthinger, Senior Research Director at Oracle Labs, and Aleksandar Prokopec, principal researcher at Oracle Labs, this Devoxx talk offers a comprehensive overview of Graal's innovative approach to language runtime execution and its potential impact on the future of programming.
