Benchmarking a toy case (hello world) shows a 20x performance difference; this is true for both kotlinc and javac, when benchmarked through hyperfine. YMMV, but benchmarks of different build styles show native converging with JIT at about 1

Not yet, but we are working on a Maven plugin :) if you join our Discord or file an issue, I can update you when its out. Elide is licensed under MIT https://github.com/elide-dev/elide

There are some JARs we must commit to source because they are built with patches from upstream GraalVM components. That's probably the big weight there. We have an issue in our repo tracking those upstream PRs. Once merged, we won&#x27

Elide's resolver is just Maven's, and we use Maven's own components to read poms. Native-imaging Gradle itself is really challenging because Gradle relies so much on reflection, and really is architected to account for the JI

> I work professionally in Python these days Elide can run Python using GraalPy, and we want to do some similar toolchain stuff in that universe. We are working on an integration with uv. Thanks also for linking this Build Server Protoco

This results in identical .class bytecode that `javac` produces, yes, because it's literally just `javac`, but built as a native binary instead of a Java entrypoint. We build at JDK24 and support `--source/--target/--release`

(In other news, I've added Kotlin to the list there, as {...|kt|kts}, so thank you for reporting this as well! We really need some docs updates and I'll make sure to clarify this stuff)

In addition to being a runtime, Elide embeds `javac` and `kotlinc`. Here it is being used as a build toolchain, but it can also run those languages, through GraalVM/Truffle.

> Hypothetically, if you could daemonize javac, would JIT eventually kick in over multiple recompiles of the same code? This is actually how Gradle works by default; in fact, even if you pass `--no-daemon`, it will start a daemon, and ju

Volker Simonis over at Amazon did some very cool benchmarks showing the impact this can have (i.e. native-imaging javac): https://github.com/simonis/LeydenVsGraalNative

(Oh, if you are seeing how the plugin installs a Maven repository, that's just to ship our own plugin artifact and Gradle Catalog, for easy dependency use. maven.elide.dev doesn't proxy to central or anything like that.)

How does this compare to GraalPy? Why create something new when GraalPy can already build native programs?
