Most of GraalVM is open source.
If anything, their biggest commercial error may be open sourcing too much. GraalVM EE is quite expensive for what it adds over the open source versions.
- dividedbyzero 6y agoIs there a summary anywhere of what parts/features are and aren't open source?

- mumblemumble 6y agoThe profile-guided optimization is a pretty big deal if you're concerned about performance. Based on the benchmarks I've seen, GraalVM Community tends to outperform JIT-compiled Java for applications where warm-up time is a significant portion of total run time, but JIT-compiled Java tends to outperform Graal, sometimes by a significant margin, for anything long-lived. Profile-guided optimization would theoretically close that gap.
