GraalVM:
GraalVM is like a magical multi-language runtime environment.
In the world of programming, different languages like Java, JavaScript, Python, and more, often run on different platforms. GraalVM is a unique technology that provides a runtime environment capable of running applications in multiple languages efficiently.
Imagine you have a magical environment where you can run Java, JavaScript, Python, and other languages all together seamlessly. That’s a bit like what GraalVM does. It’s like a versatile playground where you can use different programming languages, and it’s known for a cool feature called “native image compilation.”
Native Image Compilation: One of the special abilities of GraalVM is that it can take your program and compile it into a standalone native executable. Normally, when you run a Java program, it’s executed using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which adds a bit of overhead. But with GraalVM’s native image compilation, your program can be turned into an independent executable that starts really fast and uses less memory.
So, in simpler terms, GraalVM is like a magic box that allows different programming languages to play together, and it has a trick up its sleeve that lets your programs run faster and with less memory.
