GraalVM is a high performance JDK distribution. It is designed to accelerate the execution of applications written in Java and other JVM languages while also providing runtimes for JavaScript, Python, LLVM-based languages such as C and C++, 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
- JavaScript runtime
- LLVM runtime
- Monitoring and debugging tools
The GraalVM environment can be extended with optionally available components such as Native Image, Node.js, Ruby, R, Python, WebAssembly, LLVM Toolchain, Java on truffle and Java on Truffle LLVM Java library, using the GraalVM Updater tool.
