GraalVM is a high performance runtime for Java, JavaScript, LLVM-based languages such as C and C++, and other dynamic 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, Ruby, R, Python, LLVM Toolchain, WebAssembly and Espresso using the GraalVM Updater tool.
