A bit OOT, has anyone tried Scala on Graal? How's it?
- luu 7y agoIt seems pretty good. Twitter has some talks on this where they claim signifiant performance improvements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtgKmzgIh4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtgKmzgIh4c. I've heard that the Twitter JVM team has a road show where they've talked to some other large Scala users about the performance improvements. Initially, people are highly skeptical of the claims, but after trying Graal on their internal workloads, they generally see similar results. Here's a paper which has some explanations for why you might expect Graal to improve Scala performance: http://aleksandar-prokopec.com/resources/docs/graal-collections.pdf http://aleksandar-prokopec.com/resources/docs/graal-collecti...
- Recurecur 7y agoIf Graal and Scala interest you, then you should be aware of the Scala Native project: http://www.scala-native.org/en/v0.3.9-docs/ http://www.scala-native.org/en/v0.3.9-docs/ https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native It provides manual memory management as needed, making it suitable for even hard real time applications.
