Der Vortrag wird auf deutsch gehalten

Abstract:
GraalVM is a new high-performance virtual machine, bringing new performance optimizations for individual languages and interoperability for creating polyglot applications. In this talk we’ll discuss the most recent project updates, and how it can help you make applications development more powerful and productive. You will learn what you can do with GraalVM, in particular: use it as a JIT compiler, compile Java programs ahead of time for faster startup and lower footprint, create fast and efficient polyglot programs, and more. You’ll also discover what the best cases for using GraalVM, where to start, and how to configure it for your project.
