This Graal/Truffle/Maxine etc effort is going on for a decade or so, I think. Some folks first at Sun and then Oracle are trying to prove that Java is low level/performant enough to write JVM runtime/compilers etc. I believe this effort is still not production ready. Meanwhile Oracle has put some bits on github, and other made closed source to see if some business can be generated out of it.
- ianopolous 10y agoGraal and Truffle are already open source. The other related (but not necessary for many uses) component is SubtrateVM, and that will be open sourced in a few months too.
