[codecraft] Virtual JUG » Turning the JVM into a Polyglot VM with Graal

"Many programming languages need a virtual machine (VM) to run your
programs on. If you’re lucky, someone will have put in the hundreds of
years of work required to make a really fast one, like Oracle’s HotSpot for
Java or Google’s V8 for JavaScript. If you’re unlucky you may be using a
language where the standard VM doesn’t have the same kind of technology,
such as Ruby or Python.

The GraalVM is an effort to take the kind of technology that is in the Java
VM and make it available for implementing many other languages, so that
they can all have a fast VM and so that they can all work together in the
same VM.

This makes it possible to have faster programs, written in the languages
that you want to use. This is the one VM to rule them all."
