Is worth mentioning that SubstrateVM (https://github.com/graalvm/graal/tree/master/substratevm https://github.com/graalvm/graal/tree/master/substratevm) is now open source, which does whole-world AOT compilation to produce a single executable or shared library. It does have substantial limitations (eg no runtime class generation/loading), so it might not be suitable for every project
- ksec 9y agoHold on a sec? When did this happen? No Announcement? No HN submission? I still remember a Oracle JRuby / Truffle Ruby developer said Orcale has no plan to open source SubstrateVM. This is Great News! Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13653239 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13653239

- pjmlp 9y agoFor the time being. The plan is to support all major OpenJDK platforms. There is also Project Metropolis, which was recently started, with the long term goal of rewriting all existing C++ code into Java, so AOT needs to exist in all platforms.
