Beyond JVM - How the Platform is Evolving for New Languages and Features

Explore the evolution of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for supporting new languages and features in this conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2015. Discover how the JVM is adapting to accommodate languages beyond Java, with a focus on optimization techniques and new frameworks. Learn about key developments such as invokedynamic, lambda expressions, Truffle, and Nashorn. Gain insights into the changing landscape of JVM-hosted languages and their optimization potential. Examine the impact of these advancements on language implementation and performance. Delve into topics including basic primitives, JNI, JNR, Ruby, and the future direction of the JVM platform. Enhance your understanding of how the JVM is expanding its capabilities to support a wider range of programming languages and paradigms.
