One VM to Rule Them All
summary
GraalVM is a Java-based JIT plus language framework that runs JVM languages and dynamic languages together: Graal compiler + Truffle interpreters for JavaScript, Ruby, R and a Node.js build, and Sulong to execute LLVM bitcode via Sulong for C/C++/Go/Rust. Demo shows Node calling Java and Java calling R with zero-overhead interoperability and no serialization. Performance hits: Java parity, Scala often faster, Ruby/R big wins, native ~10–20% slower. Ahead-of-time AOT image startup <10ms produces ~5MB native binaries.
