GraalVM has been an interesting and performant Java JDK that over time added support for additional programming languages and execution models. Following their 2022 announcement that [1]GraalVM CE Java code would be donated to OpenJDK , Oracle recently announced that moving forward GraalVM will focus on non-Java languages.
Due to donating their Java code to OpenJDK and upstream Java working on features around AOT code compilation, faster start-up times and more as part of Project Leyden, Oracle will effectively be divesting GraalVM from Java.
GraalVM will be transitioning to working on non-Java languages like Python (GraalPy) and JavaScript (GraalJS). GraalVM has also experimented with an LLVM Runtime, WebAssembly/WASM, Ruby, and R language implementations too over the years.
Focusing on non-Java languages for GraalVM was [2]announced on the Oracle Java blog .
