Also, is there a Discord? Where's the community gathering? I'd like to try it :) looks neat.

By what metric is Python the most popular language on earth? I'm actually curious, genuinely asking. I thought JavaScript (Node) was king of newly written code, but perhaps that is outdated information.

Peak runtime performance is slightly better on JVM, yes. Native Image ships a JIT within your binary so it is not as different as one might think.
136.
by sgammon 2y ago
Yes. Native Image is covered by this license IIRC
137.
by sgammon 2y ago
It's not either/or. Compiling a Native Image binary gives you the JIT power of the JVM, but with faster warmup time. Peak-peak performance is not as good as JVM in many cases, but how long does your process actually spend within t

More of this configuration is automatic with every release

by sgammon 2y ago
Well, it's also not true. But aside from that, plenty of software builds in its native environment. Cross-compiling is straight up hard for many toolchains.

by sgammon 2y ago
Sorry, I know you weren't asking me, but for this same use case, yes, I've used a GHA build matrix with each OS/arch pair. Cosmo/APE support would fix this, and GraalVM already ships with a Musl libc implementation, so i

Builds have been slow for a long time via Native Image, but make sure you upgrade to the latest because it has gotten much faster lately. They've also worked hard on binary size. A pure Java hello world now compiles in a few seconds on

Micronaut is essentially Spring anyway, but with build-time codegen instead of classpath scanning and runtime annotation processing. It even has a compat layer, and like Quarkus it supports GraalVM out of the box, with minimal reflection at

> There's actually, imho, no need for native compilation for java Sure, that is true, but with native compilation available, Java can do even more things. There are other reasons, too: startup time, quicker time to peak performance,

This is partly true. CE has the "serial GC," yes, and no access to G1 GC by default. But Oracle GraalVM (formerly "GraalVM Enterprise Edition," which no longer exists) was released under a much less restrictive license:
148.
by sgammon 2y ago
Also, I don't believe this is fully true. GraalVM depends on the underlying C compiler to generate native code, so if properly configured with target triples and flags (just like any cross-compiling setup) it should work.
