I'm really excited for Graal which will make high performance Ruby, Python and JS possible. https://youtu.be/5BMHIeMXTqA https://youtu.be/5BMHIeMXTqA Imagine being able to run Pandas and Reactjs and Spring using the same runtime. https://github.com/graalvm/truffleruby https://github.com/graalvm/truffleruby Java is now officially signalling that it wants to make building new languages as the future of Java. Graal is also probably going to define the future of the JDK internals as well. http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2017-September/004336.html http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2017-Septembe...

Does JDK 9 set things up for Graal or are you just making a statement on Graal independently of this news?
- sandGorgon 9y ago
  The new jaotc is built using Graal. I think (but not sure) that Graal can be used with difficulty on older java. But java9 is general availability for this .

  It start to set up things and the AOT feature uses Graal.

Is Graal derived from Grails?
- stewbrew 9y ago
  "Grails" was derived from "Rails", just with a g prepended. Are you actually asking whether the "Holy Graal" refers to a railway station in heaven?

    More likely "Graal" was derived from "Grails", since the English word grail came from the Old French graal. And from http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/ http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/ : "The aim of this project is to expose VM functionality via Java APIs. Namely, we want to make it feasible to write in Java a dynamic compiler and interpreter for a language runtime. [...] Building on the compiler, we aim to develop a multi-language interpreter framework. Java will be just one member in the family of supported languages. The use of partial evaluation will allow the framework to deliver competitive performance." This compiler and framework sounds like an attempt to provide a foundation for more Groovy/Grails-style ecosystems to be built on the JVM.

  Here's a cool site where you can ask questions like this: http://www.google.com http://www.google.com

  Nope. Completely unrelated projects (well, both are on the JVM). Graal: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/ http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/ Grails: https://grails.org https://grails.org The words graal and grail do share a common etymology, but the projects aren't related.
