However, I don't see a use case for GraalVM in long-lived server applications. For that, regular JVM clojure will do just fine. On the other hand, using eval is almost never necessary in small standalone utilities.

  From Twitter engineer Chris Thalinger's videos[0] it seems like they're using JDK 9 or 10 and graal via JVMCI. Is there more to GraalVM than just using graal with a particular JDK release? [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7yIUkP5LiQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7yIUkP5LiQ

Yeah there's a whole world of different ways you can use Graal. https://medium.com/graalvm/graalvm-ten-things-12d9111f307d https://medium.com/graalvm/graalvm-ten-things-12d9111f307d They're choosing to use the JIT from CE Graal (which they've built themselves), via the released version of JVMCI in a released JDK.
