  The end result of all of this would be to allow Java-based programs to be packaged as static standalone executables. Java apps wouldn't have to "warm up."

    They should have done this 20 years ago. The JVM has always been a questionable discission.

    We already have this capability with graalvm today. Not sure how condensors compare.

      > Project Leyden will take inspiration from past efforts to explore this space, including the GNU Compiler for Java [1] and the Native Image feature of GraalVM [2]. Leyden will add static images to the Java Platform Specification, and we expect that GraalVM will evolve to implement that Specification. Developers who use only the standard, specified static-image feature will then be able to switch with ease between Leyden (in the JDK), Native Image (in GraalVM), and whatever other conforming implementations may arise, choosing amongst tradeoffs of compile time, startup time, and image size.
