GraalVM is a high-performance JDK distribution designed to accelerate the execution of applications written in Java and other JVM languages along with support for JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and a number of other popular languages. Additionally, GraalVM allows efficient interoperability between programming languages and compiling Java applications ahead-of-time into native executables for faster startup time and lower memory overhead.
This distribution of GraalVM Community includes:
- Java runtime with the GraalVM compiler
- Node.js runtime with the GraalVM JavaScript interpreter
- LLVM runtime
- Developer monitoring and debugging tools
The GraalVM environment can be extended with optionally available components such as Native Image and LLVM Toolchain using the GraalVM Updater tool.
