The goal was to write a Java virtual machine in Java itself, hoping to free the development from the problems of developing in C++, particularly manual memory management, and benefit from meta-circular optimizations. GraalVM has its roots in the Maxine Virtual Machine project at Sun Microsystems Laboratories (now Oracle Labs). To include an easily extended set of " polyglot programming tools".To allow freeform mixing of code from any programming language in a single program, billed as " polyglot applications".To enable GraalVM integration into the Oracle Database, OpenJDK, Node.js, Android/iOS, and to support similar custom embeddings.To reduce the startup time of JVM-based applications by compiling them ahead-of-time with GraalVM Native Image technology.To improve the performance of Java virtual machine-based languages to match the performance of native languages.Truffle Language Implementation framework and the GraalVM SDK, to implement additional programming language runtimes.GraalVM Native Image, allowing the ahead-of-time compilation of Java applications.GraalVM Compiler, a JIT compiler for Java. Major differentiators of GraalVM compared to the base JDK are: The most recent version is GraalVM 22.1.0, made available in April 2022. The first production-ready version, GraalVM 19.0, was released in May 2019. It supports additional programming languages and execution modes, like ahead-of-time compilation of Java applications for fast startup and low memory footprint. GraalVM is a Java VM and JDK based on HotSpot/ OpenJDK, implemented in Java. Community Edition: GPLv2 Enterprise Edition: Trialware
