Good news everyone! 🎉 After two years of R&D, we've finally merged the Bytecode DSL into master! Truffle now generates bytecode interpreters from AST-like specifications for you. ASTs are dead, long live bytecodes! Check it out: github.com/oracle/graal...

github.comgraal/truffle/docs/PartialEvaluation.md at master · oracle/graalGraalVM compiles applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀 - oracle/graal

Ever heard of dynamic meta-compilation? Truffle uses partial evaluation to turn interpreters into optimized machine code without requiring you to write a compiler. We’ve added new docs explaining how it works. Readable by humans, too: github.com/oracle/graal...

13 Aug

This is how we made bytecode interpreters in Java competitive with state of the art assembly tuned C interpreters. They partially evaluate like Truffle interpreters at the same time! Integrated in GraalPy, GraalWasm and Crema! Soon in GraalJS! Great work by Yudi Zheng!

GraalVM@graalvm.org

All language and tool Maven artifacts are now OSS licensed! For example, the 'js' Maven artifact is now identical to the 'js-community' counterpart. If you want extensions like sandboxing, you now need to depend on the 'truffle-enterprise' dependency explicitly.

The GraalWasm Java Embedding API has gotten a face-lift. It now works more similarly to the Wasm embedding API in JavaScript. Here is an extensive migration guide: github.com/oracle/graal...
