Explore the capabilities of GraalVM, an integrated, polyglot, high-performance execution environment for dynamic, static, and native languages in this 50-minute conference talk. Learn how GraalVM enhances the Java ecosystem by supporting Java, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, and other JVM-based languages, as well as dynamic scripting languages like JavaScript, Ruby, R, and Python. Discover through demonstrations how to utilize GraalVM as a JVM JIT compiler, run native and polyglot programs, compile ahead of time for faster startup and lower runtime overhead, debug polyglot code using universal tools, profile application performance and memory, and embed GraalVM in native applications for improved portability. Gain insights into writing code in your preferred language that best suits the problem at hand, and run the resulting program efficiently on various platforms including JVM, native code, and even inside databases.
