GraalVM Scripting Languages as Maven Dependencies
summary
GraalVM languages are now packaged as Maven artifacts and as standalone archives, so Java apps add the polyglot API plus language artifacts from Maven Central and run Python (GraalPy 3.10), JavaScript, Ruby or WASM inside JVMs. Claims: GraalPy averages ~3.5× faster on PyBench and can be orders of magnitude faster on GC‑heavy workloads. Native-image builds embed the interpreter so scripts JIT at runtime; caveat: non‑Graal JDKs lack the Graal compiler (big performance hit) unless JVMCI and compiler jars are added.
